EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Reverend Isaac Taylor's 'Scenes in America' published in 1821, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Peru during the era of Spanish exploration. The first scene depicts the founding of the city of Lima by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1535. Pizarro, dressed in full conquistador regalia, stands proudly before a large mirror, reflecting the grandeur of the moment as his soldiers look on. The second scene illustrates the tragic end of Pizarro's life, as he is slain by supporters of Diego de Almagro II in 1541. The intense emotion and drama of the moment are captured through the intricate details of the engraving. The third scene showcases the breathtaking view of Chimborazo mountain in the Andes, providing a stark contrast to the human drama unfolding in the previous scenes. The mountain's snow-capped peak and the surrounding landscape are rendered with exquisite detail, offering a glimpse into the natural beauty of South America. The engraving also features various other intriguing details, such as Patagonian giants wearing animal skins, penguins, and a Patagonian village. These scenes would have delighted and educated children, providing them with a mirror to the world beyond their own, and instilling in them a sense of wonder and curiosity about the history and cultures of the New World.
