EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Ant. Verico for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" published in Florence, Italy in 1843, depicts an intriguing encounter between two historical figures: Moctezuma II, the last Aztec emperor, and Hernan Cortes, the Spanish conquistador. Moctezuma II, the regal figure on the left, is shown wearing traditional Aztec attire. He dons a Maxtlat belt, a broad, heavy belt adorned with precious stones and jade, and a Tilmatli cloak, a large, colorful cloak made from the feathers of various birds. Atop his head, he wears a helmet, and in his hands, he holds a shield and a spear. His solemn expression conveys a sense of dignity and determination. On the right, Hernan Cortes appears in full plate armor, complete with a suit of armor, a cloak, and a sash. The armor, with its intricate designs and sharp edges, symbolizes the power and might of the Spanish conquistadors. Cortes' stern gaze and determined posture reflect his unwavering resolve to conquer the New World. The meeting between Moctezuma II and Hernan Cortes is a pivotal moment in the history of the Americas, marking the beginning of the end of the Aztec civilization. This stunning illustration not only captures the essence of these two remarkable figures but also provides a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity that existed during that era.
