EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Sarayacu, a small village in Peru. The image showcases a group of talented musicians playing traditional instruments with great passion and skill. Drawn by Riou, this engraving was featured in the renowned publication "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1865. The illustration serves as an accompaniment to Paul Marcoys' incredible journey from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean between 1848 and 1860. It beautifully captures the essence of Peruvian culture and folklore, highlighting the importance of music in their daily lives. In this scene, we see a drummer energetically beating his drum while two others play flutes with finesse. A street musician can be seen holding a tambourine, adding rhythm and melody to the ensemble. Their expressions reflect both concentration and joy as they create harmonious melodies that resonate through Sarayacu's streets. This photograph is part of Selvas collection, showcasing Leonard de Selva's remarkable talent for capturing historical moments through his lens. Through its intricate details and exquisite composition, it transports us back to a time when music served as a universal language connecting people across continents. As we admire this enchanting print today, let us appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind it but also recognize how music has always been an integral part of human existence - uniting cultures, evoking emotions, and transcending boundaries.
