This print titled "Ms Palat. 218-220 Book IX Aztec porters, from the Florentine Codex" takes us back in time to the vibrant world of ancient Mexico. Created by Bernardino de Sahagun in the 16th century, this masterpiece showcases a scene from the renowned "Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana". In this image, we witness a group of Aztec porters diligently carrying and bearing baskets filled with unknown treasures. Their strong and determined expressions reveal their dedication to their task, highlighting their importance as essential contributors to society. The composition is rich in detail, allowing us to marvel at the intricate patterns adorning their traditional garments and observe how they skillfully balance their heavy loads.
