EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history. A Guaranie woman, adorned with beauty and strength, is depicted soothing her child's cries by smoking a cigar while carrying the little one on her hip. The engraving is based on D. Maillart's drawing, illustrating a voyage to Paraguay in 1872-1873. In this intimate scene, the mother's love shines through as she tries to appease her child with the comforting smoke of tobacco. The image speaks volumes about the resilience and resourcefulness of indigenous women during that time period. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874, edited by Edouard Charton and part of the Selva Collection, this artwork offers us a glimpse into South American culture from over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of the diverse traditions and customs that have shaped our world. The French School artist behind this engraving skillfully captures both tenderness and determination within this single frame. Through their artistry, they immortalize not only an individual Guaranie woman but also symbolize the strength of all mothers who strive to comfort their children amidst challenging circumstances. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical piece for future generations to appreciate its artistic merit and cultural significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the power of art to transcend time and connect us with stories from distant lands.
