EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of South American tradition and culture. The image showcases a collection of matte leaves on the picturesque banks of the Parana River, ready to be transformed into the beloved South American drink. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this engraving was originally featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1865. The scene depicts a traditional laborer diligently gathering matte leaves, highlighting the importance of this aromatic plant in South American customs. The simplicity of the hut and tree sheet backdrop adds to its authenticity, transporting viewers back to a time when life revolved around nature's offerings. Dr. Alfred Demersay's journey to Paraguay from 1844 to 1847 inspired this illustration, showcasing his exploration and fascination with local traditions. This particular artwork is part of Leonard de Selva's private collection, preserving historical moments for generations to come. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of how certain customs endure through time and continue to shape our cultural identities. It serves as a testament to the power that simple pleasures like sipping on a warm cup of matte can bring people together across continents and generations.
