EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sunos Indians hunting freshwater turtles in the Napo River, Ecuador" offers a glimpse into the daily life of indigenous peoples in 19th century South America. The scene takes place at night along the riverbank, where a group of Sunos Indians can be seen engaged in their traditional hunting practices. The image showcases the rich ethnic diversity and picturesque landscapes that define this region. The hunters navigate through the dense jungle, skillfully tracking down freshwater turtles for sustenance. Their naked or semi-nude bodies blend harmoniously with nature as they move stealthily under the moonlit sky. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it is important to appreciate and respect these native communities who have lived off the land for centuries. This engraving serves as a reminder of their deep connection to both their environment and cultural heritage. Created by an anonymous Spanish School artist during the 19th century, this artwork was originally published in "America Pintoresca" in 1884. It provides us with valuable insights into a world that existed long before our own time. Ken Welsh's print captures not only an intimate snapshot of everyday life but also invites us to reflect on our shared human history across continents and cultures.
