EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 1862, when Gustave Dore embarked on a journey through Spain with C. Davillier. The image depicts "La noria" a remarkable hydraulic machine designed by the ingenious minds of that era. This contraption utilized the energy generated by the current to raise water levels, showcasing mankind's ability to harness nature's power for practical purposes. In this engraving from "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton, we witness the intricate details of Dore's drawing come to life. A poverty-stricken Spanish family is gathered around this magnificent invention, their faces etched with both awe and desperation. A young child stands nearby, captivated by the sight before them. The scene exudes an air of struggle and resilience as a donkey tirelessly turns the cartwheel-like mechanism that drives La noria. It serves as a reminder of how even in times of hardship, human ingenuity can create solutions that alleviate some burdens. Leonard de Selva beautifully captures this historical moment through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time and reminded of our ancestors' determination and resourcefulness in overcoming challenges they faced daily. Through artistry and innovation like Gustave Dore's depiction of La noria, we gain insight into history while appreciating humanity's unwavering spirit throughout centuries past.
