EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a detailed map of South America during the 16th century, highlighting the Spanish conquests and colonies that shaped the region's history. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The map serves as an illustration for an edition of the Harmsworth History of the World from around 1910. It offers a glimpse into a pivotal era when Spain's influence spread across South America, leaving an indelible mark on its culture and heritage. As we explore this intricate depiction, we witness how vast tracts of unexplored land were gradually claimed by Spanish explorers and settlers. The once-immune indigenous populations faced invasion as European powers sought to expand their territories. Intriguingly, Peru emerges prominently on this map as one of Spain's most significant conquests in South America. The Spaniards' arrival in 1528 ushered in a new era for the country, forever altering its trajectory. With vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this litho print invites us to delve into South America's rich historical past. It reminds us that exploration and colonization played crucial roles in shaping not only individual countries but also the continent as a whole. Through this artwork, we gain insight into how Europe's presence transformed South America during the sixteenth century—a testament to both human ambition and resilience.
