EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "U. S. A. STATES: CALIFORNIA" takes us back in time to the earliest known view of California. The image showcases a significant historical moment, where Native Americans at the mission in Carmel extend a warm welcome to the esteemed Comte de La Perouse and his expedition. Dated 1786, this illustration provides an invaluable glimpse into colonial California and its interactions with indigenous communities. It captures a pivotal encounter between two worlds - that of the nobleman from Europe and the native inhabitants of this land. The scene is filled with intrigue as we witness cultural exchange taking place amidst breathtaking natural beauty. The mission at Carmel stands tall against the backdrop of majestic mountains, symbolizing both religious devotion and European influence on American soil. Carlos Borromeo's artistic talent shines through in this mesmerizing piece, transporting us to an era when Latin America was still under Spanish rule. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalizes not only the physical landscape but also highlights the complex dynamics between missionaries and indigenous peoples during New Spain's colonization. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Carlos Borromeo, let us reflect on how history has shaped our present reality while acknowledging both its triumphs and tribulations. This photograph print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to explore further into California's rich past beyond what meets the eye.
