The Collection of Sandi - A Tree of Nutritious Secrets
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an engraving by Riou, illustrating the voyage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean between 1846 and 1860. The focal point is a remarkable tree known as Sandi, found in Venezuela and Peru. This tree possesses a unique quality - its lactee seve serves not only as a nutritious food source but also as caulking for canoes. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the significance of Sandi within these South American communities. Its versatile properties have made it an essential part of their traditions and survival. The image beautifully depicts how locals skillfully extract the lactee seve from Sandi, using traditional tools like axes. As we delve into this historical journey through Paul Marcoy's writings in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1865, we are transported back to a time when nature played an integral role in sustaining human life. Leonard de Selva's photograph brings this enchanting illustration to life once again, reminding us of our deep connection with nature and its ability to provide for our needs. Through this evocative image, we are invited to appreciate both the beauty and practicality that trees like Sandi offer us. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst technological advancements, there is still much wisdom to be gained from ancient traditions rooted in harmony with nature.
