EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from "The Old and Modern Costume" by Dr. Jules Ferrario transports us back to a significant moment in Mexican history. The image depicts the Cacique de Tabasco offering young Mexican girls to Hernan Cortes, also known as Hernando Cortez or Fernand Cortez, during the 15th century. In this scene, we witness the clash of cultures as the indigenous people encounter European conquerors for the first time. The Cacique de Tabasco, a powerful leader in pre-Colombian Mexico, presents these young girls as a gesture of goodwill or perhaps submission to Cortes and his expedition. The composition of the photograph is strikingly detailed, showcasing both traditional Mexican attire and European clothing worn by Cortes and his men. It serves as a visual reminder of how vastly different these two worlds were at that time. Through this image captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we are reminded of the complex history between Mexico and its colonizers. It sheds light on the early interactions between native peoples and European explorers who sought riches and power in this new land. As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time, it prompts us to consider the lasting impact that such encounters had on both sides. This photograph serves as a testament to our shared human history while inviting us to delve deeper into understanding our collective past.
