EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Mapuche man from Chile in the 19th century. With a cigar delicately held between his fingers, he exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. Dressed in traditional attire, including a sugar-loaf hat, striped poncho, jacket, culottes, and leather sandals called ojotes, he proudly represents his heritage. The handcoloured woodcut by T. S. , taken from Auguste Wahlens' book "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" showcases the rich cultural diversity found within South America. The pseudonym Wahlen belonged to Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer, an esteemed writer and archivist with Belgium's Heraldic Department. In this image lies not only a depiction of fashion and costume but also a glimpse into the lifestyle and traditions of the Mapuche tribe. Their unique customs have been preserved through generations as they navigate their way through history. As we observe this photograph today, it serves as both a historical artifact and an invitation to explore different cultures around the world. It reminds us that travel can be transformative; it allows us to immerse ourselves in new experiences while appreciating the beauty of our shared humanity. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this moment in time for all to admire and reflect upon. Through their lens, we are transported back to 19th-century Chile where smoking cigars was not just an addiction but also an art form – one that symbolized elegance and prestige among men like this Mapuche gentleman.
