EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of "Encyclopedie des voyages" by Grasset St Sauveur, Paris, edited by Daroy in 1796. The image depicts a native American man dressed in traditional attire, offering a fascinating glimpse into the indigenous cultures of South America during the 18th century. The intricate drawing, skillfully executed by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (1757-1810), captures the essence and diversity of Amerindian costumes. This particular illustration represents an important contribution to ethnographic studies and historical documentation. Leonard de Selva's photography beautifully preserves this piece from a private collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value and cultural significance. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness the exploration and discovery that characterized this era of global travel. As we delve into this visual treasure trove of knowledge and adventure, it is impossible not to marvel at the meticulous attention to detail displayed in every stroke. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns on the man's costume serve as a testament to both his individual identity within his community and the rich tapestry of indigenous traditions across America. This photograph serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to preserving history. It invites us all to embark on our own journey through time while honoring those who came before us - their stories forever etched onto these pages for generations yet unborn.
