EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dated 1753, captures a typical scene in the Peruvian countryside during the colonial period. The image showcases the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of Peru, with various racial types coexisting harmoniously. At the center of the composition, a Mulatto woman gracefully rides a horse, her elegant attire and poised demeanor reflecting her refined upbringing. Behind her, a caleche or coach, pulled by two horses, makes its way along the winding dirt path. In the foreground, a llama, with its distinctive long neck and large ears, grazes peacefully, while a vicuna, the national animal of Peru, stands nearby, its slender form and elegant neck adorned with a collar. A huanaco, a local indigenous man, tends to the animals, dressed in traditional clothing and wearing a wide-brimmed hat to protect himself from the sun. The diverse racial types depicted in this scene reflect the complex history of Peru during the colonial period. Europeans, Africans, and indigenous peoples all contributed to the rich cultural tapestry of this land, and this image serves as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of these distinct groups. The beautiful landscape, with its rolling hills and verdant vegetation, further underscores the unique charm and allure of Peru during this time.
