EDITORS COMMENTS
This photogravure print takes us back in time to the Inca Empire of Peru. The image showcases an esteemed Inca king seated on his majestic throne, flanked by his wife and a dwarf companion. The intricate details of their attire and regalia transport us to the 15th century, where power, tradition, and opulence reigned supreme. The Inca king exudes authority as he dons a magnificent headdress adorned with feathers, symbolizing his status as ruler. His robe drapes elegantly over him while he holds a scepter, signifying his leadership within the empire. Beside him sits his queen, radiating grace in her traditional Peruvian garments and holding a parasol to shield herself from the sun's rays. What catches our attention is the presence of a dwarf by their side - perhaps serving as both entertainment and companionship for this royal couple. This inclusion offers insight into the diverse dynamics that existed within ancient societies. Photographed late in the 19th century by Edouard Riou after one of his paintings, this photogravure preserves not only historical accuracy but also artistic beauty. It allows us to appreciate South American culture during pre-Columbian times when empires flourished across vast lands like Peru. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured through time's lens, we are reminded of the rich heritage that continues to captivate our imagination today.
