EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print showcases a remarkable illustration by Frederic Remington, titled "EXPL2A-00173". The image transports us back to the 16th and 17th centuries, during the colonial era in America. A Spanish conquistador, adorned in his armor and helmet, sits proudly atop his majestic horse. What makes this scene even more extraordinary is the presence of a foal trotting alongside its mother – an intriguing depiction of the origin of horses in colonial America. Remington's artistry beautifully captures the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized this pivotal period in history. As we gaze at this vintage print, we are transported to vast landscapes stretching from Texas to California, as pioneers ventured into uncharted territories. This brave rider symbolizes not only the historic frontier expeditions but also represents the rich cultural exchange between Latin America and North America. The conquistadors' journeys were fueled by their desire to conquer new lands under Spanish rule. From Mexico to Peru, these intrepid explorers left an indelible mark on South America while establishing colonies throughout what would become known as New Spain. Their arrival brought forth significant changes for both indigenous populations and European colonists alike. As we admire this artwork by Frederic Remington, let us appreciate how it encapsulates a crucial chapter in our shared history – one that shaped not only North American culture but also united states across continents through exploration and conquest.
