EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an Indian woman from the Mondurucu tribe in Brazil. The woman, adorned with intricate geometric tattoos, showcases her cultural heritage and identity. Her body art spans from her neck to her belt, creating a visually stunning display. Taken during the 19th century by an unknown artist, this engraving was published in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1868. It serves as a historical record of Mr. and Mrs. Agassiz's journey to Brazil between 1865-1866. The Mondurucu tribe resides in the state of Para, specifically along the river Tapajos in Amazonia. Their unique tattooing tradition reflects their deep connection to nature and their spiritual beliefs. The photograph offers a glimpse into a time long gone but still resonates today as it highlights indigenous cultures that have shaped Brazil's rich history. This image is part of the Selva Collection and belongs to a private collection. Through this photo print, we are reminded of the beauty and diversity found within different cultures around the world while honoring and preserving their traditions for future generations to appreciate.
