EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to Icononzo, Colombia. The image showcases the natural bridges of Icononzo, a geographical wonder that has fascinated explorers and locals alike for centuries. The print, created by an anonymous French artist around 1840, beautifully captures the rugged beauty of this South American landscape. Towering mountains provide a majestic backdrop as a fast-flowing river rushes through a deep ravine below. The rapids add an element of excitement and energy to the scene. The natural bridges themselves are truly remarkable. Carved out by years of erosion and water flow, they stand as testaments to nature's power and artistry. These intricate formations connect two sides of the ravine, creating pathways for adventurous souls who dare to cross them. As we gaze upon this historical artwork now preserved in a private collection, we can't help but marvel at how little has changed over time in this remote corner of Colombia. The untouched wilderness still holds its allure, inviting us to explore its hidden treasures. This engraving not only serves as a visual record but also sparks our imagination about what life was like during that era – when travel was more arduous and discovery held an air of mystery. It reminds us that even though times may change, there will always be places like Icononzo where nature's grandeur leaves an indelible mark on our hearts and minds.
