EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable illustration from the 16th-century manuscript, Historia de Tlaxcala, held at Glasgow University Library in Scotland. The artwork depicts MS Hunter 242 f. 248r Picarus, or Pizarro, alongside his loyal war horse. Created by the Mexican School, this pen and ink drawing beautifully captures the historical significance of Diego Munoz Camargo's codex. The History of Tlaxcala provides invaluable insights into the religious, cultural, and military history of the Tlaxcaltec people after their conquest. In this particular illustration, Francisco Pizarro GonzAalez is portrayed as a conquistador who successfully conquered the Inca Empire in South America during the early 16th century. The image portrays Pizarro adorned in armor and helmet while mounted on his majestic war horse. It symbolizes not only his military prowess but also represents Christian conversion and oppression brought upon by Spanish missionaries in Latin America. The presence of horses in Mesoamerica was significant as they were foreign animals that played a crucial role in warfare for both indigenous peoples and European conquerors like Pizarro. This depiction highlights how these powerful creatures became an integral part of Mexico's history during this era. Through its intricate details and symbolic elements, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of North American history - one marked by conquests, cultural clashes, and profound transformations across continents.
