About the Item
This original copper engraving depicts a lively scene of daily life in New Spain from Arnoldus Montanus' "Die Unbekannte Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes."
At its height, the viceroyalty of New Spain consisted of Mexico, much of Central America, parts of the West Indies, the southwestern and central United States, Florida, and the Philippines.
Published in Amsterdam by Jacob Meurs in 1673, this detailed illustration is part of a rare German edition that offers insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the American continents as perceived by Europeans in the 17th century. The engraving showcases individuals engaged in what appears to be a ritual or communal activity, surrounded by the lush flora of the region.
Condition Report: The print appears to be well-preserved with high-quality line work and clear contrasts, indicating good care over the centuries. The paper shows natural signs of aging, such as possible foxing, a warm patina, and maybe some minor tears or creases along the edges, typical for documents of this period. The integrity of the image and text is intact, suggesting that the engraving has been stored under favorable conditions, maintaining its historical and visual significance.
