EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the P'urhepecha (Tarascan) Indians of Michoacan Province, Mexico fleeing their village just before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century. The illustration, taken from "An Account of the Ceremonies and Rites of the Indians of Michoacan Province" provides a glimpse into the intense action and desperation faced by these indigenous people. The image showcases an exterior scene where villagers are seen hastily retreating on canoes along a river. Their faces reflect fear and uncertainty as they escape from an impending invasion that would forever alter their way of life. This powerful depiction serves as a reminder of the immense impact that European colonization had on native communities throughout Latin America. With its rich historical context, this photograph print transports viewers back to a time when Mesoamerica was still untouched by Spanish conquest. It highlights both the resilience and vulnerability of indigenous cultures facing external forces beyond their control. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this artwork curated by Bradley Smith offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while honoring those who have been marginalized or forgotten. Through this image, we gain insight into one chapter among many in Mexico's complex narrative – reminding us to appreciate cultural diversity and strive for understanding across different societies.
