EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of an edition of "History of the Conquest of Mexico" by Antonio de Solis y Rivadeneryra, chronicler of the Indies. Published in Barcelona in 1756, this book delves into the population and progress of northern America, known as New Spain.
The image showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into printing this historical text at the Lucas de Bezares y Urrutia printing house. The red and black color scheme adds to the richness and depth of this ancient book, which has stood the test of time from the 17th century to present day.
As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back to a time when Spanish conquistadors like Hernan Cortes clashed with Aztec warriors in Mesoamerica. The dedication to Ferdinand VI is a reminder of the ties between literature, history, and empire during this era.
This piece serves as a visual representation not only of a significant moment in Mexican history but also as a testament to the power and influence that books have had throughout centuries. It is a reminder that even in our modern age, we can still appreciate and learn from the stories preserved within these ancient pages.
