EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the War of the Thousand Days in Colombia. In this intense scene, an insurgent leader and his 1200 men find themselves surrounded by regular troops in a rugged defile near Santa Maria de Colombia. Determined not to surrender, the courageous leader commands his men with unwavering resolve. In a display of heroic elan, he urges his comrades to throw away their weapons and clothes as a defiant gesture against their oppressors. Astonishingly, faced with this act of defiance, the commander of the regular troops refuses to open fire. Instead, he orders his soldiers into close combat armed only with stabbing weapons. The engraving originally featured in "Le petit journal" on October 19th, 1902, immortalizing this extraordinary episode from the Civil War in Colombia. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical artifact for future generations to appreciate. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully captures every detail and emotion within this powerful image. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the bravery and determination exhibited by both sides during one of Colombia's most tumultuous periods. This print serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that can arise even amidst chaos and conflict—a reminder that heroism can be found even in the darkest corners of history.
