EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Hunter 242 f. 240v Franciscans burning temples, illustration from Historia de Tlaxcala by Diego Munoz Camargo" takes us back to the 16th century in Mexico. The image showcases a significant historical moment where Franciscan friars are seen setting fire to native temples as part of their missionary efforts. The scene is filled with tension and symbolism, as the clash between the Spanish conquistadors and the indigenous people unfolds before our eyes. The monks, dressed in traditional brown robes, represent Christianity's arrival on American soil and its subsequent impact on native cultures. The destruction of these sacred temples signifies a pivotal turning point in history - the conversion of Mesoamerica to Christianity under Spanish rule. It serves as a stark reminder of the power dynamics at play during this era of colonization. Through intricate pen and ink work, this Mexican School artwork captures both the physicality of fire engulfing these ancient structures and the emotional turmoil experienced by those witnessing their demise. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece from Glasgow University Library's collection, we are reminded of Latin America's complex history shaped by conquests, cultural assimilation, and religious transformation. This photograph print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter that forever altered the course of Mexico's identity within North America and beyond.
