EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1539, when Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto arrived at Tampa Bay, Florida. The steel engraving, created by an American artist in 1853 and based on a drawing by Seth Eastman, beautifully captures this significant moment in history. In the image, we see De Soto standing on the coast of Tampa Bay with a sense of awe and curiosity. As a conquistador representing Spain during the Renaissance period, he embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined the Age of Discovery. The scene is filled with intrigue as De Soto gazes out towards the vast expanse of water before him. His presence signifies not only his personal journey but also Spain's ambitious quest to expand its influence into new territories across the globe. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line etched into it tells a story. From De Soto's determined expression to the meticulously depicted landscape surrounding him, we are transported back to a time when these lands were untouched by European settlers. This print serves as a reminder of our collective past and invites us to reflect on how exploration has shaped our world today. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that allows us to appreciate and learn from those who came before us.
