EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the pristine forest in the Caravaya valley of the Andes cordilliere. The image captures a moment of preparation for a meal, where an unknown artist has beautifully depicted the scene from Paul Marcoy's journey through Peru in 1849-1861. The focal point of the engraving is a boa constrictor, coiled up and ready to be cooked into a short broth. This unusual choice of ingredients adds an element of intrigue to the composition. The surrounding forest provides a lush backdrop, with towering trees and dense foliage creating an atmosphere of untouched wilderness. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we can almost taste the anticipation and hunger that fills the air. The explorers are shown at ease as they gather around their makeshift dining area, eagerly awaiting their breakfast. It is evident that food holds great importance on this journey through uncharted territories. The black and white tones add depth and contrast to every detail captured by Leonard de Selva's photography skills. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only this unique culinary experience but also highlights the diverse wildlife found in South America. This print serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and how it sustains us even in unfamiliar landscapes. It invites us to appreciate both our primal instincts for survival and our ability to adapt when faced with new challenges along life's journeys.
