EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Palat. 218-220 Book IX Gold objects in an Aztec shop" takes us on a journey back in time to the vibrant world of the Aztecs. Captured by Bernardino de Sahagun, a Spanish School artist from the 16th century, this image showcases a mesmerizing display of gold objects found in an Aztec shop. The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe various exquisite pieces crafted by skilled goldsmiths. A beautifully illustrated lamp illuminates the scene, casting a warm glow over the intricate crafts that surround it. Delicate bowls and jugs catch our eye with their ornate designs and meticulous craftsmanship. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Mesoamerica's pre-Hispanic traditions. It serves as a testament to the incredible talent and artistry possessed by native artisans during this era. Preserved within Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, this image originates from Sahagun's monumental work, Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana (General History of the Things of New Spain). Written collaboratively by trilingual Nahuatl, Spanish, and Latin Aztec students under Sahagun's guidance, this historical account provides invaluable insights into Aztec society. As we admire these golden treasures through this photo print, let us appreciate not only their aesthetic beauty but also their significance as symbols of cultural identity and artistic excellence passed down through
