EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the intricate details of the Mexican Aztec calendar, showcasing the months, years, and centuries according to this ancient civilization. Created by Luigi Giarre in 1843 for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," this print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Mexico.
The circular form of the calendar symbolizes the cyclical nature of time in Aztec tradition, with each month and year marked by unique symbols and imagery. The meticulous detailing in this engraving reflects the precision and artistry that went into creating such a complex system for tracking time.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when civilizations like the Aztecs flourished in what is now modern-day Mexico. Their advanced understanding of astronomy and mathematics allowed them to create calendars that were not only practical but also deeply spiritual.
This print serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by ancient cultures like the Aztecs, whose traditions continue to influence contemporary Mexican society. It is a testament to their ingenuity and creativity, preserved for future generations to admire and learn from.
