EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "View of the Pass from Quindio" takes us on a journey through the interior provinces of Colombia in the early 19th century. Created by Edward Francis Finden, this illustration is part of John P. Hamilton's renowned book "Travels through the interior provinces of Colombia" published in 1827. The scene depicts a mountainous pass in southwest Colombia, where peons and porters known as cargueros navigate their way with determination and strength. The towering trees provide shade for weary passengers who rely on these carriers to transport their luggage up the steep slopes. The composition exudes a sense of adventure and resilience as we witness these Colombian locals ascending towards their destination. The parasol carried by one porter adds an intriguing cultural touch, hinting at both protection from the sun's rays and perhaps even social status. As we delve into this historic print, it becomes evident that transportation played a vital role in connecting remote regions during this era. This artwork not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a testament to human perseverance amidst challenging terrains. With its intricate details and evocative atmosphere, "View of the Pass from Quindio" invites us to imagine ourselves alongside these hardworking individuals, experiencing firsthand the beauty and challenges they encountered while traversing through Colombia's breathtaking landscapes.
