EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving takes us back to the 16th century, capturing a pivotal moment in history when Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto discovered the mighty Mississippi River. The image showcases a vintage illustration from the 19th century, beautifully brought to life with vibrant colors. In this scene, we witness De Soto and his expeditionary party standing on the riverbank, gazing in awe at the vastness of their newfound discovery. Dressed in conquistador armor, they represent Spain's colonial ambitions as they explore and claim new territories in North America. The presence of a Roman Catholic priest among them hints at their missionary intentions - not only seeking wealth but also spreading religious influence across these uncharted lands. This encounter with Native Americans is depicted respectfully, highlighting the Amerindian culture that thrived along the Mississippi River before European colonization. This artwork serves as a window into an era where exploration and conquest shaped our world. It symbolizes both curiosity and ambition while reminding us of the complex interactions between different cultures during this transformative period. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to 1540 – witnessing firsthand one of humanity's great journeys into unknown territories.
