EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the annals of history, transports us back to the high mountain valley of Cuevas, Chile, South America, in the year 1824. The image showcases two indigenous Araucanos, natives of Chile, engaged in a spirited game of pelican, a traditional sport akin to hockey. The natural beauty of the Andes Mountains serves as the picturesque backdrop to this scene, with the blue skies and green grass adding vibrant contrast to the red, yellow, and striped ponchos worn by the players. The Araucanos, an integral part of the Latin American civilisation, are seen here in their element, their faces expressing focus and determination as they maneuver their sticks to propel a ball towards the opposing team's goal. The game, a cherished aspect of their cultural heritage, was an essential part of their daily lives and a testament to their resourcefulness and athleticism. As spectators look on, the excitement of the moment is palpable. The game, which bore resemblance to hockey and was also known as bandy, was a beloved pastime among the Araucano people and a symbol of their unique identity. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these indigenous peoples during the 1820s, providing a window into their rich history and the diverse civilisations that thrived in South America during this period.
