Engraving of Rituals and Cremation Ceremonies in New Spain by Montanus, 1673
About the Item
Title: "Rituals and Ceremonies in New Spain"
Description: This striking copper engraving is extracted from Arnoldus Montanus' seminal work, "Die Unbekannte Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes." It depicts a vivid scene of indigenous rituals and ceremonies from the region known as New Spain, providing a rich visual narrative of the cultural practices during the colonial era. The engraving serves as a historical document, reflecting the European perspective of the New World's indigenous populations in the 17th century.
Condition Report: As a genuine article from 1673, the condition is commensurate with its age. The paper exhibits a warm patina, with natural slight discoloration, foxing, or minor tears along the edges, which is typical of paper of this period. The ink remains deep and the details of the engraving are sharp and clear, suggesting that the piece has been preserved with care. Any wear it may have does not interfere with the image or text's legibility, thus retaining its value as a historical artifact.
