EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early days of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The image showcases a line engraving from Ulrich Schmidel's account of Pedro Mendoza's expedition, dating all the way back to 1595. In this historical depiction, we are presented with a panoramic view of Buenos Aires as it stood in its infancy. Founded by Pedro Mendoza in 1536, the city is shown nestled along the picturesque coast, surrounded by vast stretches of land and sea. The engraving offers a glimpse into the daily life and architecture of this colonial settlement. We can observe houses lining the streets, while a fort stands tall on one side as a symbol of protection and authority. A gallows ominously looms nearby, reminding us that justice was harshly dealt during those times. As our eyes wander through this scene frozen in time, we notice boats dotting the seashore and men going about their daily activities. Horses roam freely amidst an atmosphere filled with both promise and uncertainty. This print serves as a testament to Buenos Aires' rich history and its significance as one of South America's oldest cities. It allows us to appreciate how far it has come since its humble beginnings over four centuries ago - evolving into the vibrant metropolis that it is today.
