EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Chile's history - the country embroiled in civil war shortly after gaining independence. The image showcases the battleships of the insurgents, known as congressmen, bombarding Chilean ports as they fiercely fought against President Jose Manuel Balmaceda's influence and policies. Taken from an engraving featured in "Le petit journal" on June 13th, 1891, this historical artifact provides a glimpse into the turmoil that plagued Chile during this period. The Selvas collection has preserved this piece of art that portrays an intense naval battle amidst the chaos of civil unrest. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the scene with intricate details, highlighting both the destructive power of warfare and its impact on transportation vehicles like boats. This print serves as a reminder of how military navies played a crucial role in shaping Chilean history. As we observe this image today, it offers us insight into South America's past struggles for autonomy and political control. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination displayed by those who fought for their beliefs during times of conflict. Leonard de Selva's photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. Through his lens, we are transported back to that tumultuous era when Chile was torn apart by internal strife yet remained steadfast in its pursuit of freedom and self-determination.
