EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century on the beautiful island of Hispaniola. The image showcases a native house, hand-colored with intricate details that bring it to life. This vintage woodcut reproduction from Oviedo's edition of 1547 offers a glimpse into the historic dwellings of the indigenous people who once inhabited this Caribbean paradise. The humble hut stands proudly amidst a vibrant village, serving as both shelter and home for its inhabitants. It is a testament to their resourcefulness and resilience in an era marked by exploration and colonialism. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are transported to an era when European powers sought to colonize new lands in the New World. Hispaniola, now divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, holds a significant place in history as one of Christopher Columbus' first stops during his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. This artwork allows us to imagine what life was like for those who called this island home long before it became part of "New Spain". As we admire this piece of art, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us through time and space. It serves as a reminder that every corner of our world has stories waiting to be discovered and shared with future generations.
