EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "AZTEC: CHOCOLATE, 1685" takes us back in time to the rich history of the Aztec civilization. The image showcases an Aztec man holding a bowl of chocolate, providing a glimpse into their fascinating culture and relationship with this beloved beverage. The line engraving, originally published in a French history book on chocolate, tea, and coffee in 1685, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient tradition. The details are exquisite - from the intricate head dress worn by the Aztec man to his bow and arrow symbolizing their hunting skills. In this snapshot of life in Mesoamerica during the late 17th century, we witness how cocoa played a significant role not only as a drink but also as an essential part of agriculture. The plant itself is depicted alongside him, emphasizing its importance within their society. This image serves as a reminder that chocolate has been cherished for centuries across different cultures. It transports us to Latin America's New World where indigenous people like these Aztecs cultivated cocoa long before it became popularized worldwide. As we admire this historical artwork by The Granger Collection through Granger Art on Demand, let us appreciate the cultural significance embedded within every sip of our favorite indulgence today.
