EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a scene of cultural significance and agricultural ingenuity. Titled "Indians watering field baskets" it offers a glimpse into the traditional irrigation methods employed by indigenous communities. The image depicts two Indians diligently irrigating a field using baskets filled with water, creating small moats to nourish their crops. The artwork is attributed to Pierre M. Sonnerat, who painted this vivid depiction during his voyages to the East Indies and China in the late 18th century. Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson skillfully sculpted this scene onto Plate 24 before page 107 of Sonnerat's renowned book, "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine". Sonnerat's extensive work delves into various aspects of Indian, Chinese, Pegouin (Burmese), and Madegasse (Malagasy) cultures, including their customs, religions, sciences, and arts. This particular illustration sheds light on the resourcefulness and practical knowledge possessed by these Indian communities when it comes to agriculture. Displayed against a backdrop of lush vegetation and under clear skies, this image invites viewers to appreciate the harmonious relationship between humans and nature that has been cultivated for centuries in different parts of the world. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with our environment while showcasing the rich diversity found within indigenous cultures.
