EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early days of California's history. The image showcases Mission San Diego de Alcala, a significant landmark founded by Father Junipero Serra in 1769. The pen-and-ink drawing, created in the late 19th century, beautifully captures the exterior of this colonial-era church. Standing tall against a clear sky, the mission's architectural details are meticulously depicted. From its sturdy walls to its arched windows and doorways, every element reflects Spanish influence on American soil. A solitary palm tree gracefully sways nearby, adding an exotic touch to the scene. Father Junipero Serra was a Franciscan monk who played a crucial role as a missionary and priest in establishing missions throughout California during this period. His dedication is palpable through this artwork; it serves as a testament to his vision and commitment towards spreading Christianity among indigenous communities. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we can't help but imagine what life must have been like within these walls centuries ago. This print not only preserves an important moment in time but also invites us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage that shaped modern-day California.
