EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a low-class Quechua woman and man from Chuquisaca, Bolivia in South America. The woman is adorned in a round pleated and embroidered dress, complemented by a white bodice. Her hair is intricately styled into several long braids, showcasing her cultural heritage with pride. Standing beside her is the man, wearing a distinctive sugar-loaf hat atop his head and donning a vibrant, colorful coat that exudes character. Completing his ensemble are leather sandals that speak to his connection with nature. The image transports us back to the 18th-19th century when this photograph was taken by Duverger. It offers us an intimate glimpse into the lives of these Quechua individuals who were part of the lower class society at that time. Their attire reflects their identity as members of this indigenous tribe while also highlighting their resilience and resourcefulness. Auguste Wahlens' book "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" provides further context for understanding different cultures around the world during this period. This handcoloured woodcut engraving beautifully brings to life not only the costumes but also the customs and manners prevalent among various peoples. Through this photo print, we are reminded of the rich diversity present within our global community and encouraged to appreciate and celebrate each unique culture's contributions to our shared humanity.
