EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in time in the region of eastern Panama known as Darien. The print, titled "Les porters (caucheros), in Darien" depicts a group of bearers or caucheros, who were responsible for transporting goods through the dense Selva forest. The intricate details of this French School engraving after a drawing by D. Maillart bring to life the ruggedness and resilience of these individuals. Their faces show determination as they navigate their way through the challenging terrain, carrying heavy loads on their backs. It is evident that these men are an integral part of exploration and trade in this remote area. Published in 1880 under the direction of Edouard Charton, this engraving was meant to illustrate A. Reclus' story about his exploration at the isthmus of Panama and Darien from 1876 to 1878. The image provides us with a glimpse into an era when adventurers sought new frontiers and encountered both natural wonders and human struggles along their journeys. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of the bravery and resourcefulness required to venture into unknown territories. This photograph print serves as a testament to human ingenuity amidst untamed landscapes, inviting us to appreciate both our shared history and the beauty found within Central America's rich cultural heritage.
