EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a pivotal moment in history as Francisco Pizarro seeks the support of the imperial court for his governance over Peru. The engraving, created by Theodore de Bry, showcases the Spanish conquistador's determination and ambition. In this scene, Pizarro stands tall among a group of explorers and colonists on the coast, with a majestic galleon being loaded in the background. His sword rests at his side while he holds a quill, symbolizing both his military prowess and diplomatic skills. With intense focus etched across his face, Pizarro writes fervently to Emperor Charles V, requesting permission to rule over the conquered Inca empire. This image encapsulates not only Pizarro's personal quest for power but also represents an era of colonial expansion and conquest. It serves as a reminder of how European powers sought to extend their influence beyond their own borders during this age of exploration. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical photograph offers us a glimpse into one man's audacious pursuit that forever altered the course of Peruvian history. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of both the triumphs and tragedies that unfolded during this period marked by conquest and colonization.
