EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the rich history and cultural significance of South America's indigenous people. The engraving, created by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala in 1587, depicts a messenger blowing a horn amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Peru. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of their culture, this lone figure stands as a symbol of communication and discovery during the 16th century. The messenger's powerful blow into the horn resonates with an air of urgency and importance. As his sound echoes through valleys and across mountains, it serves as both a call to attention and an announcement of news or events. This instrument becomes not only a tool for communication but also an emblematic representation of exploration during this era. Guaman Poma de Ayala's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke captured within this vertical composition. From the precise depiction of Western script to instruments used for measurement, such as maps or compasses subtly integrated into the scene, we are transported back to pre-Columbian civilization where Inca culture thrived. Through artistry and illustration, this engraving beautifully encapsulates South American heritage while shedding light on Amerindian civilizations' contributions to our collective history. It invites us to appreciate their unique customs and traditions that have endured throughout centuries despite external influences.
