EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing "View of Acapulco" as depicted in the renowned illustration from Hectomopolis. Published in Amsterdam in 1700, this coloured engraving by Pieter Schenk (1660-1718/19) offers a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant city of Acapulco during the 17th century. The image transports us back to an era when birds-eye view illustrations were used to capture important cities in the New World. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to Nova Hispania, known today as Mexico, where Acapulco's bustling harbor comes alive before our eyes. Every intricate detail has been meticulously etched onto paper, allowing us to appreciate the architectural marvels and natural beauty that defined this coastal gem centuries ago. The port is teeming with activity - ships sail gracefully through turquoise waters while merchants and sailors go about their daily routines on land. Acapulco's charm is further enhanced by its picturesque surroundings; lush green hills provide a stunning backdrop against which colorful buildings stand tall. This enchanting scene captures both the tranquility and liveliness that once characterized this thriving port city. Preserved within the Biblioteca Nacional de Mexico, this extraordinary piece of art serves as a testament to human creativity and curiosity about distant lands. It reminds us of our collective history and invites us to explore new horizons through its vivid depiction of Acapulco's past glory.
