EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the traditional method of suchi fishing on the serene lake of Villafro, near the village of Cailloma. The small brown fish, known as catfish, are lured by the ingenious technique employed by the local Indians. With their bodies in a caliphourchon position atop grass bales, they attract these elusive creatures using meat hamlets. Engraved by E. Riou and featured in Paul Marcoy's remarkable journey through the mountains, valley of Huarancalqui, and regions of Pjonal from 1862 to 1863, this image showcases a unique cultural practice that has stood the test of time. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1875 and edited by Edouard Charton under Hachette edition in Paris, it is now part of Selva Collection. The tranquility exuded by this scene is palpable; one can almost feel the stillness enveloping them as they gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork. The reflection of nature's beauty on the calm waters adds an ethereal touch to an already enchanting composition. Leonard de Selva's photography skills have flawlessly captured every intricate detail within this print. From each individual blade of grass to every ripple on the lake's surface - nothing escapes his lens. As we admire this masterpiece from Fine Art Finder today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back in time and immerse ourselves in cultures long gone yet forever preserved through art.
