EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking image from 1519, Hernan Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, stands resolute on the shores of Mexico as his fleet is destroyed behind him. Having reached the mainland after a perilous voyage across the Atlantic, Cortes and his men were met with unexpected challenges. A mutiny had broken out amongst his soldiers, threatening to derail the invasion of the powerful and mysterious Aztec empire. Faced with this internal threat, Cortes made the bold decision to sink his own ships to prevent any further unrest. The men in longboats surrounding the vessels in this print are either attempting to save what they can or are engaged in the process of sinking the ships. This bold move demonstrated Cortes' determination to press on with the conquest, despite the challenges he faced. The date is 1519, and Cortes and his men were on the brink of a historic moment. The invasion of the Aztec empire would ultimately lead to the downfall of the mighty Aztec civilization and the spread of Spanish influence throughout the Americas. Cortes, the conquistador, had come to Mexico with a small army and a burning desire for discovery and conquest. In this moment, he demonstrated the leadership and resolve that would make him a legend in history.
