About the Item

This detailed copper engraving is from Arnoldus Montanus' "Die Unbekannte Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes," which offers a glimpse into the ceremonial aspects of life in New Spain, as understood and interpreted by European observers of the 17th century. The engraving is full of life and activity, showcasing the intricate attire and customs of the indigenous peoples in their environment, along with European colonial structures in the background, symbolizing the meeting of different worlds. Condition Report: For an item printed in 1673, this page appears to be in remarkably good condition. The paper has maintained its integrity, with no significant rips or loss of text or image. Minor natural signs of aging such as yellowing, foxing spots, or slight edge wear typical for a document of this age. The clarity of the engraving and legibility of the text suggest that the item has been well-preserved, and any wear does not detract from the overall historical value of the piece.
