EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1671, offering a glimpse into Mexico City under Spanish rule. The line engraving, created in the 19th century and based on a copper engraving from that era, beautifully captures the essence of this historical period. The aerial view showcases the city's sprawling landscape with its colonial architecture and bustling streets. A carriage can be seen traversing through the cityscape, highlighting the transportation methods of that time. This image serves as a reminder of Mexico City's rich history and its significance as an important colonial hub in Latin America. The presence of soldiers and troops signifies Spain's occupation during this period. Men are depicted going about their daily activities, while oxen and sheep roam freely on an island within a lake - perhaps symbolizing both agricultural practices and Mesoamerican influences. This mesmerizing skyline transports us to a bygone era when Mexico City was known as New Spain. It is not just a mere photograph but rather an artistic representation that encapsulates the impact of Spanish colonization on Mexican society. As we delve into this image, let us appreciate its historical value and reflect upon how it shaped modern-day Mexico City.
