EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the striking portrait of Hernando De Soto, a renowned Spanish explorer and conquistador of the 16th century. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures De Soto's commanding presence as he stands proudly donning traditional Spanish armor from that era. The image is extracted from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan, published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. It offers a glimpse into the historical significance of De Soto's exploration and conquests during this period. De Soto's bearded face exudes determination and resilience, reflecting his pivotal role in shaping South America's history. The oval-shaped frame adds an air of elegance to this historic illustration while emphasizing its importance as a piece of literature. The monochromatic color scheme enhances the timeless quality of this portrait, allowing viewers to appreciate both the intricate details of De Soto's attire and his significant contribution to colonialism. This print serves as a reminder not only of Spain's influence on South America but also highlights the exploration and expansion efforts made by European countries during this time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back through centuries to witness one man's journey across continents—a testament to human curiosity and ambition that forever altered our world.
