EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "VALUE," showcases a gathering of four prominent figures from Argentine history. At the center stands Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), a key figure in Argentine politics who served as both a governor and vice president. He is depicted with a thick beard and a serious expression, reflecting his strong leadership qualities. To his left is Adolfo Alsina (1829-1880), another influential Argentine politician who served as governor of Buenos Aires and played a significant role in the creation of the Sociedad Rural (Rural Society). He is also shown with a beard and a stern gaze, emphasizing his masculine presence. On the right, we see two more figures, but their identities remain uncertain. They are likely members of the aristocracy or influential figures in Argentine society during the late 19th century. The title "VALUE" suggests that these men represent important institutions and values within Argentine society during this period. The engraving, created in 1877, is a testament to the rich history and political landscape of Argentina during this time. The vertical, upright orientation of the image adds to the sense of importance and grandeur, making it a striking and valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or artwork. This engraving, created by an unknown artist, is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the influential figures who shaped the course of Argentine history. With its intricate details and beautiful use of contrast, it is a true work of art that is sure to captivate and inspire.
