EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic treasure from the 16th century - a detailed map of Nueva Galicia, an important territory in Mexico during that time. The map, created through cartography techniques, offers a glimpse into the past and provides valuable insights into the region's geography and landmarks. The image captures the essence of this historical period with its full-length depiction. In the foreground stands a traditional hut, symbolizing the indigenous culture prevalent in Nueva Galicia at that time. The studio shot highlights every intricate detail of this remarkable piece of art and craft. The map also sheds light on religious practices and beliefs as it features illustrations depicting sacrifices and killings associated with ancient Mexican religion. This serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted religion was in shaping society during that era. With its horizontal layout, viewers can appreciate the building exteriors depicted on this large-scale map. It is fascinating to observe how North American tribal culture influenced Western script within this artwork. While no people are present in this particular photograph, one cannot help but imagine the bustling activity that would have surrounded such maps back then. They were not only functional tools for navigation but also served as religious offerings or objects used for cultural ceremonies. Overall, this print takes us on a journey through time by showcasing an extraordinary artifact representing Mexico's rich history and traditional culture.
