EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ah! Leave me, and save Telasco!" transports viewers to a tumultuous moment in history. This powerful illustration is derived from Jean-Francois Marmontel's renowned work, The Incas, which vividly depicts the destruction of the Empire of Peru. Engraved by Nicolas Delaunay in 1777, this masterpiece measures 21.2x13 cm and resides within a private collection. The scene depicted showcases an intense struggle for survival amidst chaos and oppression. A brave female figure can be seen rowing furiously in a boat while desperately pleading to be left behind so that her companion, Telasco, may be saved. The dramatic tension captured in this image encapsulates the heroic resistance against Spanish invaders during the conquest of South America. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences faced by native peoples at the hands of European colonizers. It symbolizes both the strength and tragedy experienced by indigenous cultures such as the Incas who fell victim to foreign invasion. Through its intricate details and emotive composition, this artwork invites contemplation on themes of conquest, history, and resilience. As we gaze upon this historical relic from Latin America's past, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also of our responsibility to remember and honor those whose stories have been overshadowed or forgotten over time.
