EDITORS COMMENTS
The cries of freedom and adventure echoed through the mead as two young women, liberated from societal constraints, danced joyfully in their natural state. Their carefree spirits were accompanied by mischievous monkeys who playfully nipped at their limbs, adding an element of whimsy to the scene. This illustration from chapter 16 of Candide by Francois Voltaire captures a moment of uninhibited bliss amidst the lush beauty of nature. Engraved by J. Denis and brought to life by Charles Monnet, it is a testament to the power of art in evoking emotion and sparking imagination. The image hints at a larger narrative - 'What Happened to Our Two Travelers with Two Girls, Two Monkeys and the Savages Called Oreillons' - inviting viewers to ponder what adventures lie ahead for these spirited souls. The dense Paraguayan forest serves as both backdrop and sanctuary for this daring escapade. As we gaze upon this black-and-white photograph print, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration was revered and boundaries were meant to be pushed. It reminds us that there is beauty in shedding inhibitions and embracing our true selves. Let this artwork serve as a reminder that sometimes it takes courage to break free from conventions; only then can we truly experience the exhilaration of living life on our own terms.
