EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant historical moment in Mauritania. The image showcases Eliza, a brave woman undergoing a test at the source of chastity in this African nation. The upper right corner is marked with the intriguing label "f: 166" hinting at its place within an extensive collection. The scene depicted captures Eliza as she fearlessly confronts her destiny, surrounded by the mystical powers of the source. Known as "jump" or fluids extracted from the earth, these elements hold great significance and are believed to possess magical properties. Jan Luyken's name is mentioned on this remarkable object, indicating his involvement in capturing this pivotal moment through his artistic talent. This particular print was created in Amsterdam during 1681 using paper and etching techniques, showcasing both skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Measuring just 137 mm high and 85 mm wide, this small yet powerful artwork transports viewers into a world where tradition meets courage. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient rituals and our continuous quest for understanding cultural practices that shape societies
