EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "People of the Plains" after sketches by the German artist Johann Moritz Rugendas, is taken from plate 8 of Volume I of "The Fiscal and Political History of Chile," published by Lemercier in 1854. The image was produced through the technique of lithography by Alexandre Laemlein. The scene depicts a group of people from the plains of Chile, dressed in traditional attire, engaging in various activities. In the foreground, a farmer sits on a horse, tending to his livestock, which includes cattle, horses, and rams. A dog lies nearby, keeping watch over the herd. In the background, other figures are shown working in the fields, likely involved in farming or stockbreeding. The people wear colorful clothing, with some wearing ponchos and suits, reflecting the diverse cultural influences present in the region. Rugendas, a renowned artist and ethnographer, traveled extensively throughout South America during the mid-19th century, documenting the people and landscapes he encountered. His sketches were later used as the basis for this series of lithographs, which provide valuable insights into the daily life of the Chilean people during this period. The horizontal composition and intricate detail of the print make it a stunning representation of the people and their connection to the land.
