EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the adventurous spirit of Spanish navigator and explorer, Hernando de Alarcon. Known for drawing the first geographical map of the peninsula of California and the western coast of Mexico, Alarcon's legacy is one of exploration and discovery.
In 1541, Alarcon embarked on an expedition in search of the mythical kingdom of Cibola along the Colorado River. However, he mysteriously disappeared during this quest, leaving behind a legacy shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
This illustration from the book "History of the Spanish Army" showcases Alarcon in his element - a fearless explorer charting unknown territories with determination and courage. The engraving adds to the sense of historical significance surrounding this legendary figure.
Displayed at Academia General Militar (General Military Academy) in Zaragoza, Spain, this vertical print serves as a reminder of Alarcon's contributions to navigation and exploration. His story continues to inspire generations to push boundaries and seek out new horizons.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that there are still uncharted territories waiting to be discovered - just like Hernando de Alarcon did centuries ago.
