EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The march of Cartagena (Colombia)" in the suburbs of the city during the 19th century. The scene depicts a bustling street frequented mainly by blacks, metis, and Indians, showcasing the diverse cultural tapestry of this vibrant Colombian community. Engraved to illustrate Dr. Saffray's voyage to New Granada in 1869, this image was published in "Le tour du monde" in 1872. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness a lively conversation taking place amidst a backdrop of poverty and commerce. The street is filled with locals engaged in various activities - some selling fruits and bargains at market stalls while others engage in animated discussions. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of Colombian culture, highlighting its rich botanical heritage as well. The print from Leonard de Selva's private collection offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder that even amid struggles and hardships, communities thrive through resilience and unity. Through this historical lens, we are transported to Cartagena's past where morals were upheld despite pauper conditions. This image invites contemplation on themes such as social dynamics, economic disparities, and the indomitable spirit that defines Colombia's history. Overall, this photograph encapsulates both the beauty and challenges faced by Colombians during that time period – it is an invaluable piece for anyone interested in exploring South America's rich cultural heritage or delving into Colombia's fascinating history.
