EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the mid-19th century, capturing a significant moment in history. The image depicts "The capture of manatees, in Mabuiso (Peru)", beautifully drawn by Riou and engraved by Edouard Charton. It was featured in the renowned publication "Le tour du monde" edited by Charton in 1865. The scene showcases a traditional Peruvian fishing technique, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of South America. A barque floats gracefully on a river as men work together to capture these majestic creatures - manatees. This engraving serves as an illustration for Paul Marcoy's voyage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean between 1846 and 1860. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings life to this historical moment. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time, witnessing not only a fishing expedition but also glimpsing into the traditions and customs of Peru during that era. "The capture of manatees" reminds us of humanity's deep connection with nature and our ability to adapt ancient techniques for survival. This print is part of Selvas collection - an invaluable treasure that preserves moments like these for generations to come. Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this masterpiece through his lens, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty even today.
