EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Virgin Forest, Paraiba, Brazil, c. 1840" takes us back in time to the untouched beauty of the Brazilian rainforest during the 19th century. The engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from that era, showcases a scene filled with lush greenery and a sense of mystery. The image depicts a dense woodland with towering trees and thick foliage. In the foreground, we see indigenous people walking through the forest alongside European colonists armed with guns. This juxtaposition hints at the complex history of colonization and its impact on native communities. The setting is near the Parahiba River in Paraiba state, Brazil. The river adds another layer of tranquility to this untamed landscape as it meanders through the forested terrain. As rain falls gently from above, adding an element of meteorology to this visual narrative, one can almost feel the humidity and hear nature's symphony echoing through these ancient woods. This engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our planet's rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on humanity's relationship with nature and raises questions about conservation efforts in today's world. Displayed proudly within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; this piece offers viewers a glimpse into both historical exploration and artistic expression while honoring South America's native peoples and their ancestral lands.
