EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 19th century in Peru. The image showcases two Siriniris Indians attempting to don a pair of pants and a vest that had been left out to dry by a member of an expedition. The natives, filled with curiosity and joy, find amusement in trying on these foreign garments. The scene takes place on the picturesque shores of the lakes at the foot of Mount Basiri, adding an element of natural beauty to the composition. This engraving was created by an unknown artist for Paul Marcoy's book "Le tour du monde" in 1872, edited by Edouard Charton. The contrast between traditional native attire and Western clothing is strikingly evident here. It highlights not only cultural differences but also serves as a reminder of how exploration brings people from different worlds together. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates both fascination and humor. It offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing the spirit of adventure that drives explorers like those depicted in Marcoy's work. As we admire this intriguing piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we can't help but imagine what conversations might have taken place between these Siriniris Indians as they playfully attempted to disguise themselves with these new garments from another land.
