EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Chief Lacandon and Lacandon types, the Mayan people residing deep within the lush jungles of Chiapas, Mexico. The engraving was created by P. Fritel to accompany the enthralling tale "Journey to Yucatan and the Land of Lacandons" written in 1882 by Desire Charnay, an esteemed archaeologist and photographer. Published in the Tour du monde nouveau journal des voyages in 1884, edited by Edouard Charton, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of these indigenous people during that era. The intricate details captured by Fritel's engraving showcase their unique features and traditional attire. Chief Lacandon stands tall at the center of this composition, exuding strength and wisdom. Surrounding him are various individuals representing different facets of Mayan culture. Their expressions reflect a mix of curiosity, resilience, and pride. Through this historical artifact preserved in time, we are transported back to an age when exploration was paramount and cultural diversity fascinated many around the world. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and highlights the importance of preserving indigenous cultures for future generations. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully showcases this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection while paying homage to its historical significance.
