EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of tranquility and simplicity in the lives of a nomadic Puri family. In their humble hut made of leaves and branches, the family finds respite from their wandering lifestyle. The man lies comfortably in a hammock, his body swaying gently with the rhythm of nature. Meanwhile, the woman tends to a fire, skillfully roasting meat for their meal. Set against the backdrop of the mighty Amazon River in Brazil, this scene showcases both the beauty and resilience of these indigenous people. Handcoloured by Duverger, this woodcut brings to life every intricate detail - from the texture of the leaves to the warmth emanating from the fire. The image is part of Auguste Wahlens' renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" which explores various cultures and customs across nations. Wahlens himself was an esteemed writer and archivist hailing from Belgium. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into not only a specific tribe's way of life but also into humanity's shared connection with nature. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's hustle and bustle, there are those who find solace in simplicity and harmony with their surroundings.
