EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "Inca Storehouses" takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient Incan civilization. The image showcases the remarkable architectural prowess of the Incas, with rows upon rows of storehouses standing tall against the Peruvian landscape. These structures, known as "Depocito del Inga Collca" were essential for storing and preserving goods vital to sustaining their empire. The intricate details within this artwork provide a glimpse into daily life during that era. The figures dressed in traditional American costumes add authenticity to the scene, while an incan accountant or quipucamayoc can be seen meticulously recording information using a unique recording device called quipu or khipu - talking knots used for counting and keeping accounts. The composition exudes a sense of order and organization as these storehouses served not only as storage facilities but also played a crucial role in maintaining control over resources within the vast Incan Empire. This print is part of Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala's renowned work, "The New Chronicle and Good Government" which offers invaluable insights into Incan culture and governance. As we admire this historical masterpiece, it reminds us of the rich heritage left behind by ancient civilizations like the Incas. It serves as a testament to their ingenuity, advanced systems of record-keeping, and their ability to thrive amidst challenging environments.
