EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of tranquility and adventure on the Guayaquil River. Taken from the renowned book "Voyages aux Regions Equinoxiales du Nouveau Continent" by Alexander de Humboldt, this coloured engraving beautifully depicts a raft floating gracefully on the river's surface. Engraved by Michel Bouquet and published in 1814, it showcases the remarkable talent of these artists. The image transports us to South America during Humboldt's scientific expedition from 1799 to 1804. The German naturalist and explorer, accompanied by botanist Bonpland, embarked on an extraordinary journey through Central and South America. This particular snapshot illustrates their encounter with local culture as they witness a covered raft being used for transportation. The raft itself serves multiple purposes beyond mere transport; it is also a floating home for its inhabitants. With its sheltered structure, mast, and cooking facilities visible onboard, one can imagine the daily life unfolding within this unique vessel. Additionally, it appears to be carrying an abundance of fruit cargo - perhaps showcasing the region's rich agricultural offerings. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an exotic world filled with native traditions and breathtaking landscapes. It reminds us of the beauty that lies in exploring new territories and embracing different cultures. As we admire this historical artwork from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are reminded of Humboldt's groundbreaking contributions to science and exploration while appreciating the artistic mastery behind this stunning piece.
