EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Incan Temple of the Sun in Cuzco, Peru, dating back to the 1500s. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut reproduction captures the essence of an illustration found in Montanus and Ogilby's works. The image transports us back to a bygone era when this ancient city thrived as a vibrant hub of Incan civilization. The temple itself stands as a testament to their rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs, dedicated to Inti, the revered sun god. Nestled amidst the majestic Andes Mountains, Cuzco exudes an air of mystique and grandeur that is palpable even through this vintage print. Its traditional architecture and intricate carvings evoke a sense of reverence for history and tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past, we are reminded of how deeply intertwined religion was with every aspect of life during pre-Columbian times in Latin America. This sacred site served not only as a place for worship but also as a symbol of power and divine connection. Let this extraordinary photograph transport you on an imaginary journey through time - immersing yourself in the splendorous beauty that once graced these ancient lands.
