EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment when Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto and his expedition arrived in Florida in 1539. The hand-colored woodcut, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures this significant event that shaped American history. In the illustration, we see a vintage ship gracefully docking on the shores of Florida as De Soto and his men disembark onto land. Clad in their armor, these brave conquistadors astride their horses symbolize both power and exploration. With determination etched on their faces, they set foot on North American soil to establish a colonial presence. The scene is filled with anticipation as De Soto's army prepares to discover uncharted territories within the New World. This image not only portrays an arrival but also represents a pivotal moment for Spain's expansion into new lands during the 16th century. Through this artful depiction, viewers are transported back in time to witness this crucial chapter of Spanish history unfold before them. It serves as a reminder of the early explorations that laid the foundation for future European colonization efforts across what would become known as the United States. This print from North Wind Picture Archives offers a glimpse into an era where adventure and conquest were intertwined, leaving an indelible mark on our understanding of America's past.
