EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Une Mamaluca, Brazil, 19th century" transports us back in time to the rich cultural heritage of Brazil. Created by artist A de Neuville, this portrait showcases a Brazilian woman dressed in an elegant full-length gown. The subject of the image is a striking lady who exudes grace and poise. Her presence commands attention as she stands tall against a monochrome backdrop. The intricate details captured by the engraving technique bring out her beauty and character. As we delve into the history behind this artwork, we discover that "mamaluca" refers to individuals of mixed African and Indigenous Brazilian ancestry. This term was commonly used during the 19th century when racial classifications were prevalent. Through this print, we catch a glimpse of life in Brazil during that era – a country shaped by diverse cultures and traditions. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by women throughout history. Whether displayed in an art gallery or cherished within personal collections, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance. It prompts us to reflect on our shared past while celebrating the diversity that continues to shape our world today.
