EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Map of Tenochtitlan, Mexico, created in 1560 by the renowned chronicler and cosmographer Alonso de Santa Cruz. The map is featured in his influential work General Islands of the World, which provides invaluable insights into the discovery and exploration of new lands during this era. The vibrant colors used in this vertical composition bring to life the intricate details of Tenochtitlan, once a thriving Aztec city located on an island in Lake Texcoco. Every street, canal, and building is meticulously depicted, allowing us to envision the grandeur that once existed within its boundaries. As we gaze upon this historic artifact housed at the National Library Madrid, we are transported back to a time when Spain was actively exploring new territories across America. Santiago Ortega's skillful photography captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of wonderment and curiosity about our world's past. It is important to note that this print should not be used for commercial purposes. Instead, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and encourages us to delve deeper into history's mysteries. Let us cherish these glimpses into our collective past as they provide valuable insights into how civilizations have evolved over time.
