EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of ancient sculptures from the Inca period, discovered by the author in the back-yard of a house located on Calle del Triunfo. The engraving, created by Edouard Riou, beautifully captures these remarkable artifacts that offer a glimpse into the rich history and culture of South America. The image transports us to a time long ago, where intricate stone carvings depicting mythical creatures and deities were revered by the indigenous people. These sculptures hold immense significance as they shed light on the artistic prowess and spiritual beliefs of the Incas. It is fascinating to imagine stumbling upon such treasures hidden away in an ordinary backyard. The juxtaposition between everyday life and extraordinary historical relics adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this photograph. Paul Marcoy's book "Travels in South America" undoubtedly benefited greatly from this incredible find. As we gaze at these sculptures through Riou's masterful engraving, we are reminded of how literature has played a vital role in preserving our understanding of ancient civilizations. This image serves as a reminder that even within seemingly mundane surroundings, there may be extraordinary stories waiting to be uncovered. It invites us to explore our own environments with curiosity and open eyes, for who knows what wonders might lie just beyond our doorstep?
