EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1554, offering a glimpse into the enchanting beauty of Lake Titicaca in Peru. The engraving, derived from Pedro Cieza de Leon's account of the Spanish Conquest Chronicle of Peru, transports us to a distant era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. Despite not having set foot on Peruvian soil himself, the engraver skillfully captures the essence of this remarkable lake. Nestled amidst breathtaking natural surroundings, Lake Titicaca stands as a testament to its rich Incan heritage and indigenous culture. The image portrays an idyllic scene with row upon row of traditional buildings lining its shores. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when Incan civilization thrived and native Peruvian people flourished. It serves as a reminder that history is not only shaped by conquerors but also by those who have been conquered. The Granger Collection has once again curated an extraordinary piece that allows us to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance captured within this engraving. Let it serve as an invitation for us to delve deeper into our collective past and explore the wonders that lie beyond our own horizons.
