EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a time when the unexpected could turn an ordinary journey into a remarkable adventure. Inside a rancho of Maynapata in Lower Peru, travellers find themselves caught off guard by a sudden and surprising snowstorm. Seeking shelter from the biting cold, they take refuge in a humble mud cottage amidst stacks of potato and maize bags. The scene depicted here is one of resilience and resourcefulness. The weary travellers huddle together, finding solace and warmth in the midst of their temporary sanctuary. Their tired faces tell stories of hardship endured on their voyage through the valleys of Quinquinas. This engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, was originally intended to illustrate Paul Marcoy's expedition through Peru between 1849-1861. It was later published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1870-1871. Today, this image serves as a powerful reminder of human adaptability and our ability to find comfort even in the most challenging circumstances. It transports us back to an era where nature's whims could disrupt even the best-laid plans but also highlights our capacity for resilience and camaraderie. Preserved within private collections today, this photograph captures not only historical significance but also evokes emotions that transcend time itself. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured image allows us to glimpse into this extraordinary moment frozen forever within its frame.
