EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Landing of De Soto in Florida, a significant event in American history. The engraving, created by Asa Coolidge Warren in 1855, transports us back to May 1539 when Hernando de Soto, a Spanish explorer, arrived on the shores of America. The image showcases De Soto's expedition as his ship anchors in the Bay of Spiritu Santo. With an air of anticipation and determination, De Soto and his soldiers disembark from their vessel onto the unfamiliar land. Their mission? To search for gold. The scene is filled with energy and excitement as soldiers clad in armor prepare to explore this new territory. The lush landscape serves as a backdrop to this pivotal moment that would shape future interactions between Europeans and Native Americans. Warren's expert craftsmanship brings every detail to life - from the intricate engravings on De Soto's ship to the expressions on each soldier's face. This print not only commemorates an important historical event but also pays homage to Warren's artistic talent. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the courage and ambition that drove explorers like Hernando de Soto to venture into uncharted territories. It serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and invites us to reflect on how these encounters shaped our present-day world.
