EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the founding of St. Augustine, Florida in 1565 by Pedro Menendez de Aviles. At the center of the engraving stands Menendez de Aviles himself, a conquistador and visionary leader who played a crucial role in establishing this significant settlement on America's eastern coast. The wood engraving, created in the 19th century by an American artist, beautifully depicts the scene with intricate details and precision. The image showcases Menendez de Aviles surrounded by his fellow settlers as they dig into the earth with shovels to lay down the foundations for their new colony. St. Augustine holds great importance as it is recognized as not only one of America's oldest continuously inhabited European settlements but also serves as a symbol of Spanish influence and colonization in Latin America during that era. This historical event marked Spain's expansion into what would become known as Mesoamerica or New Spain. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when brave explorers ventured into uncharted territories, driven by ambition and curiosity about the New World. It reminds us of our rich history and heritage while honoring those who paved the way for future generations.
