EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of Mexican pictorial writing, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this ancient civilization. Taken from The National Encyclopaedia: A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge, published around 1890, this archival image transports us back to a time when communication relied on intricate pictographic characters. The picture depicts an intricate system known as testerian, which was used in Mexico during the 19th century. Each character is meticulously crafted to convey meaning through visual representation rather than conventional alphabetic symbols. This unique form of expression allowed individuals to communicate complex ideas and stories through beautifully illustrated images. As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we are reminded of the importance placed on preserving our past and understanding the diverse ways in which cultures have communicated throughout history. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity in finding innovative methods for conveying messages across generations. Ken Welsh's skillful capture brings out every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance behind these ancient writings. Whether you are an enthusiast of history or simply intrigued by different forms of communication, this print offers a captivating window into Mexico's rich tapestry of culture and language.
