EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative print, the Battle of Otumba, fought in July 1520 in Mexico, unfolds before our eyes. Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador, stands at the forefront of his men, his determined gaze fixed on the horizon. The scene is set against the backdrop of a fiery sun, casting long shadows over the battlefield. Cortés and his troops, outnumbered by the Aztec forces, face a formidable enemy. Yet, they are not alone. The Tlaxcalans, traditional enemies of the Aztecs, have allied with Cortés, adding their strength and courage to the Spanish ranks. Despite the odds stacked against them, Cortés and his men fight on, buoyed by their leader's unwavering resolve. The Tlaxcalan warriors, their faces painted with intricate designs, charge forward with their shields and spears, their battle cry echoing across the battlefield. Cortés, with his sword raised high, encourages his men to press on, their spirits bolstered by their leader's bravery and belief in their cause. The Aztecs, though fierce and tenacious, are no match for the combined might of the Spanish and Tlaxcalan forces. The Battle of Otumba marked a turning point in the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Cortés' strategic alliances and the bravery of his men, aided by the Tlaxcalans, paved the way for the eventual fall of the Aztec Empire. This historical moment, captured in this print, serves as a testament to the power of unity, courage, and determination in the face of adversity. This print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Mexico and the South American continent. It is a reminder of the pivotal events that shaped the world as we know it today.
