EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Saint Xavier Mission" takes us back in time to colonial Argentina, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the idyllic world of the Mocobi Indians. Created by Florian Paucke, a German Jesuit missionary turned memoirist, this color lithograph showcases his illustrated recollections of life in South America. Set against the backdrop of an enchanting landscape, we witness the harmonious coexistence between native tribes and Spanish soldiers. The mission camp at Chaco comes alive with vibrant details - soldiers and troops dotting the scene while engaging with the indigenous community.
