EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print juxtaposes two figures from different time periods and cultures, highlighting the diversity of human history. On the left, we see Montezuma II, the powerful Aztec Emperor of Mexico, adorned in a regal gold crown and gorgette. His stoic expression exudes authority and strength, reflecting the grandeur of his reign during the 16th century. In contrast, on the right side of the image stands David Cusick, a Tuscarora Baptist preacher and author from the early 19th century. Dressed in western attire, he represents a different era and cultural background than Montezuma II. Despite their differences in appearance and historical context, both men are depicted with dignity and respect by artist Charles Hamilton Smith. The hand-colored steel engraving by Lizars beautifully captures the essence of these two distinct individuals who have made significant contributions to their respective societies. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of humanity's past and how individuals like Montezuma II and David Cusick have shaped our world in unique ways. This print serves as a visual reminder of our shared history and celebrates the diversity that makes us all unique yet interconnected as members of one human species.
