EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La peche des leeches" transports us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the traditional Greek culture. The drawing by Sahib beautifully illustrates the story of Henri Belle's voyage to Greece in 1861,1868, and 1874. In this engraving from Le tour du monde directed by Edouard Charton, Paris, we see a scene filled with elements that depict both human labor and animal life. A man is shown fishing for leeches using a basket while sitting on a horse. This image showcases the ancient practice of leech fishing which was commonly used in pharmacy during that time. The intricate details captured by Leonard de Selva highlight not only the skill of the artist but also provide insight into Greek traditions and customs. The presence of horses signifies their importance as working animals in rural areas. Through this photograph, we are transported to an era where farming practices were deeply intertwined with everyday life. It serves as a reminder of how civilizations have evolved over time while still holding onto age-old traditions. Leonard de Selva's masterful capture allows us to appreciate this historical moment frozen in time – a testament to both artistic talent and cultural heritage.
