EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Cap 72 and Cap 73, illustrations from Historia de las Indias de Nueva Espana y islas" takes us back to the historical period of the Spanish conquest in Mexico. Created by Jules Desportes and based on native illustrations gathered by Diego Duran, this colorful lithograph transports us to a time when the Aztec civilization clashed with European explorers. In the top portion of the print, we witness an intriguing scene where Totonac Indians assist conquistadors in transporting materials. This depiction highlights the complex dynamics between indigenous peoples and their conquerors during this tumultuous era. The image draws inspiration from Codex Ixtlilxochitl, a significant source for understanding pre-Columbian Mesoamerican history. As we delve further into the artwork, our attention is drawn to a group of knights or conquistadors on horseback. They are adorned in armor as they traverse through unfamiliar terrain, symbolizing their quest for power and dominance over new lands. The presence of horses emphasizes both technological superiority and cultural exchange between Europe and America. This stunning print not only captures historical events but also showcases wildlife such as horses - animals that played a crucial role in shaping colonial societies across North America. It serves as a visual reminder of how exploration forever altered both continents' destinies while shedding light on various aspects like transportation methods, indigenous cultures, and encounters between different civilizations.
