EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant celebration of the feast of San Isidro, patron of the ploughers and protector of cultures, in Challqui, Peru. The image showcases a grand parade consisting of over 1000 Indians from the surrounding areas who come together to honor this revered saint. In a procession filled with color and energy, they carry a statue of San Isidro to be placed on the altar of the virgin. The scene is alive with joyous festivities as locals gather for an extravagant feast accompanied by lively music played by a local band. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation as everyone indulges in chicha, a traditional Peruvian drink. Engraved by E. Riou and published in "Le tour du monde" in 1875, this artwork beautifully illustrates Paul Marcoy's journey through various regions such as Sierra, Huarancalqui Valley, and Pjonal from 1862 to 1863. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly encapsulates this momentous occasion, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the vibrancy and spirit of this ancient festival. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of community celebrations that bring people together while honoring their shared history and beliefs.
