EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the conquest of Mexico by the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes. The image showcases an exquisite 16th-century manuscript from Paris, B. N. , created by an unknown artist. It offers a glimpse into the start of this monumental journey in 1518. The photograph transports us back to a time when Spain was determined to explore and expand its empire. Hernando Cortes emerges as a central figure, his name synonymous with exploration and adventure. With his sights set on Mexico, he embarked on a daring expedition that would forever alter the course of civilization. The illuminated miniature within the manuscript reveals scenes of conflict and interaction between the Spanish conquerors and native populations. It serves as a testament to both cultural exchange and exploitation during this tumultuous period. As we delve into this historical artifact, we witness not only Cortes' military prowess but also gain insight into the rich tapestry of Mexican society at that time. The population's resilience is evident despite their eventual subjugation under foreign rule. This print invites us to reflect upon the complex legacy left behind by these early explorers. It prompts us to consider questions about power dynamics, colonization, and cultural assimilation – themes that continue to resonate today. In preserving this remarkable piece of history through photography, Photo Josse allows us access to an invaluable window into our shared past.
