Bilder Jean-Jacques-André Le Veau (1729–1785) – Vue des Indiens de la Terre de Feu dans leurs huttes – Engraving (18th Century)

Beskrivning

This original 18th-century engraving titled Vue des Indiens de la Terre de Feu dans leurs huttes depicts Indigenous people of Tierra del Fuego gathered in and around their traditional dwellings. The scene shows men, women, and children in a domestic setting, with carefully rendered vegetation and rock formations surrounding their semi-circular hut. The composition reflects European interest in ethnographic documentation during the Age of Enlightenment, likely published in relation to early South American exploration voyages or travel atlases of the period.

Jean-Jacques-André Le Veau (1729–1785) was a French engraver known for his refined technique and collaborations on travel, scientific, and historical publications. His works often illustrated exotic or educational subject matter, contributing to the visual record of Enlightenment-era encounters with non-European cultures.
