EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Boucan" takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of Santo Domingo in 1873. The image showcases a traditional cooking method known as boucanier or buccaneer, practiced by cattle hunters during that era. In the foreground, we see a group of men gathered around a fire pit, their faces illuminated by the dancing flames. They are engaged in the art of spit roasting, skillfully turning skewered pieces of meat over the crackling fire. A frame made from green boughs serves as their unique cooking surface, upon which succulent cuts are laid to cook slowly. The scene exudes an atmosphere of camaraderie and adventure as these skilled cooks work together to create a mouthwatering feast. The aroma of sizzling pork fills the air while wisps of smoke rise into the sky. This engraving not only captures a specific moment in history but also offers us insight into cultural practices and culinary traditions from centuries ago. It reminds us that food has always been at the heart of human connection and celebration. Displayed against a backdrop of historical significance, this print transports us back to an era where open fires and communal cooking were essential elements for survival and social bonding. It is truly a fascinating glimpse into our past through art's lens.
