EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the lives of the Yahua Indians of Peru, as they keenly search for game from their perches in the branches. The image showcases their remarkable skill and resourcefulness in utilizing weapons known as sarbacans, armed with poisoned flechettes. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this engraving was featured in Paul Marcoy's "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" published under Edouard Charton's direction in 1866. The scene depicted here offers a glimpse into South America during Marcoy's voyage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean between 1848 and 1860. It highlights not only the indigenous people's hunting techniques but also their deep connection with nature and reliance on traditional methods for survival. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artwork is part of Selva Collection. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also as a testament to cultural diversity and exploration during that era. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this photograph, which serves as a window into an ancient way of life that still resonates today. As we admire this image, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to transport us back to a time when humans lived harmoniously with nature while adapting ingenious strategies for sustenance.
