EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph print titled "Montezumas Daughter" we are transported to a world of intense emotions and impending doom. Created by John Seymour Lucas in 1893, the image depicts a scene from H. Rider Haggard's novel of the same name. The central figure, Montezuma's daughter, is portrayed with keen determination as she stands amidst her foes. Her shaking locks buzzed short, her gaze fixed fiercely ahead, and her lips muttering prayers or perhaps incantations against those who have bound her people. With hands firmly clenched at her sides, she confronts the heathen tormentors with unwavering strength. Father Pedro, a grizzled man of faith, hangs naked beside her in supplication. His eyes filled with insects and his body thin as a waif's waistline; he faces his own torments while offering prayers for salvation. The menacing faces surrounding them reveal their captors' cruel intentions and their disdain for these two defiant souls. Yet Montezuma's daughter remains resolute in the face of adversity. This powerful engraving captures both the physical struggle and spiritual resilience that define Montezuma's daughter as an indomitable force against oppression. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of despair and captivity, one can find strength within themselves to challenge their circumstances head-on.
