EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting world of Sarayacu, Peru. The image depicts the intricate preparation of fireworks, a laborious task undertaken by skilled craftsmen. Drawn by Riou and featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1865, this engraving beautifully illustrates Paul Marcoys' remarkable journey from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean between 1848 and 1860. In this scene, we witness a harmonious blend of native traditions and manufacturing technology as clergy members and laborers work together diligently. Their expertise is evident as they meticulously assemble each firework with precision and care. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as vibrant sparks are destined to illuminate the night sky. The artist's attention to detail transports us into this momentous occasion, allowing us to appreciate both the cultural significance of these festivities and the technical prowess required for their execution. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of South America's rich heritage and its profound impact on global exploration. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our innate desire for adventure. It invites us to reflect on past journeys that have shaped our present world while inspiring new ones yet to come.
