Engraving of a Ceremonial Gathering in New Spain in New Spain by Montanus, 1673

About the Item

This detailed copper engraving originates from Arnoldus Montanus' "Die Unbekannte Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes", depicting a ceremonial gathering in New Spain (now modern-day Mexico). The scene portrays several figures in elaborate attire, possibly engaging in a ritual or social event, highlighting the intricate customs and societal structures of the indigenous people during the colonial period. The engraving is well-preserved, with the expected age-related tonality changes and potential marginal foxing. The paper shows signs of handling, such as soft creases and wear along left edge. The print's integrity remains intact with all details visible, and the text is fully legible, which speaks to the careful preservation efforts since its publication in 1673 by Jacob Meurs in Amsterdam.
