EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unique underground houses of gypsies in Sacro Monte, Granada. The image is a drawing by Gustave Dore, an acclaimed artist who documented his trip to Spain in 1862 alongside Ch. Davillier. Published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1864, this engraving showcases Dore's talent for capturing the essence of different cultures. The picture transports us to the daily life of these Spanish gypsies, revealing their humble habitat carved into caves. The scene depicts a child amidst the poverty-stricken environment, surrounded by animals and linen hanging from makeshift lines. It offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by these marginalized communities during that era. Dore's attention to detail brings out both the beauty and hardship present within this scene. The play between light and shadow emphasizes the contrast between hope and despair that coexist within these underground dwellings. Leonard de Selva has skillfully preserved this historical artwork through photography, allowing us to appreciate its significance today. This particular print is part of Selvas collection, which showcases important works from various artists throughout history. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the power art holds in documenting social realities and preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
