EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Platform 1520, a pivotal moment in the history of Mexico and the Americas. The image depicts hand-to-hand combat between Spanish conquistadors and the indigenous Aztec warriors, a clash of civilizations that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Aztec Empire. The Battle of Platform 1520, also known as the Battle of Tlaxcala or the Battle of Otumba, took place on June 30, 1520, near the modern-day city of Tlaxcala in Mexico. Hernán Cortés and his Spanish forces had been making their way towards the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, when they were ambushed by a large Aztec army led by Emperor Moctezuma II. Despite being outnumbered, the Spanish soldiers fought bravely, using their superior weapons and tactics to gain the upper hand. The Aztecs, although initially successful in driving back the Spanish, were eventually overwhelmed by the relentless onslaught. The battle is believed to have lasted for several hours, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. This print provides a vivid and dramatic representation of the hand-to-hand combat that took place during the Battle of Platform 1520. The Spanish soldiers, clad in armor and wielding swords and shields, are shown engaging in fierce combat with the Aztec warriors, who are armed with spears, shields, and clubs. The platform upon which the battle takes place is strewn with the bodies of the fallen, adding to the sense of chaos and destruction. This historical print is a powerful reminder of the significant events that shaped the history of Mexico and the Americas. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of conflict and transformation, and inviting us to reflect on the complex and often tumultuous relationship between European explorers and the indigenous peoples of the New World.
