EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut reproduction of a 1593 illustration takes us back to the 16th century, allowing us to trace part of DeSoto's route across southeastern North America. The map showcases the eastern portion of his expedition, which was a significant chapter in American history. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we are transported to an era when exploration and conquest were at their peak. It is a testament to the adventurous spirit that defined those times. The intricate details on the map highlight various landmarks and territories that DeSoto encountered during his journey. The image not only serves as a visual representation of historical events but also pays homage to Native American heritage. It reminds us of the indigenous communities who inhabited these lands long before European colonization began. This artwork captures Florida's lush landscapes, Carolina's untamed wilderness, and other parts of what would later become known as the United States. It symbolizes Spain's efforts to colonize and establish its presence in the New World. With every stroke and color choice meticulously applied by skilled hands centuries ago, this piece becomes more than just an illustration; it becomes a window into our past. It allows us to appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging our shared history with Amerindian cultures. Let this remarkable print serve as a reminder of Hernando de Soto's daring expedition and its lasting impact on Southern America’s rich tapestry of history and culture.
