EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a rural kitchen in the Tierras Calientes region of Mexico, circa 1877. The scene depicts Mexican women engaged in the age-old tradition of making corn tortillas. In this humble abode, poverty and simplicity are evident, yet there is an undeniable sense of resilience and community. The focal point of the image is a woman skillfully grinding maize flour on a traditional grindstone located on the left side. This essential tool represents both sustenance and hard work that goes into creating nourishing meals for their families. On the wall hangs an image of the Virgin of the Sacred Heart, symbolizing their deep-rooted religious beliefs intertwined with daily life. Amidst flickering flames from a rustic fire stove, these indigenous women don traditional clothing - shawls draped over their shoulders and skirts flowing gracefully around them. Their attire reflects not only cultural heritage but also signifies their connection to nature and local traditions. Through this monochrome engraving captured by O'Deá during the 19th century, we catch a glimpse into rural existence where cooking becomes an art form passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst poverty, faith remains strong while communal bonds sustain hope for better days ahead.
