The image, believed to be based on a sketch from Hernan Cortes' book of 1524, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling city during this era. The buildings stand tall against the backdrop of a stunning geographical feature - a vast lake that once dominated the landscape. The azure waters beautifully contrast with the colorful Mexican architecture, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Aztec civilization. As we explore further, we can see people going about their daily lives, adding life and movement to this historical snapshot. The causeway connecting different parts of the city is visible, emphasizing its importance as a crucial transportation route. This remarkable print not only provides an insight into Mexico City's physical appearance but also serves as a map for understanding its layout and development during this period. It offers valuable glimpses into how buildings were constructed and arranged within this ancient metropolis.
