EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the suburbs of Sainte Martha (Santa Marta, Colombia) in the 19th century. The etal of a butcher is vividly depicted, showcasing the intricate process of preparing meat for consumption. In this scene, we witness oxen being carefully slaughtered and their bleeding bodies laid out on display. The skin is meticulously extended, while the flesh is skillfully cut into stripes before being preserved with salt and dried. Nothing goes to waste as any unconsumable parts are discarded onto the ground, attracting a flock of vultures eager to feast on the remnants. The engraving was created by an unknown artist and published in "Le tour du monde" in 1872 as part of Dr. Saffray's voyage to New Granada. This remarkable illustration offers us a glimpse into not only the butchering practices of that era but also sheds light on daily life in Santa Marta during that time period. As we gaze upon this historic image from Leonard de Selva's private collection, it serves as a reminder of how much our world has evolved over time. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such scenes and gain insight into cultural practices long gone by.
