EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1848 depicts the momentous first appearance of Incan Emperor Manco Capac and his wife, Ocllo, to the people of Peru. The image transports us back to the 12th century when this powerful royal couple emerged as leaders of their empire. In the print, we see Emperor Manco Capac standing tall with an air of authority and wisdom. His regal attire signifies his status as a revered ruler among his people. By his side stands Empress Ocllo, radiating grace and elegance in her traditional Peruvian garb. Together, they embody strength and unity as they embark on their journey to lead their nation. The artist skillfully captures the awe-struck expressions on the faces of the Peruvians witnessing this historic event unfold before them. Their eyes are filled with admiration for their new emperor and empress who will guide them through times of prosperity and adversity. This wood engraving not only showcases a significant moment in Incan history but also serves as a testament to Latin American culture during that era. It allows us to appreciate the rich heritage and traditions that have shaped Peru into what it is today. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us be reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these extraordinary rulers who paved the way for generations to come in ancient Peru.
