EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Map of the Archbishopric of Mexico" (1767), showcases the meticulously detailed cartography work of the renowned Spanish cartographer, Antonio de Alzate. The map offers a vertical, or viewpoint, perspective of the central region of New Spain, with a particular focus on the area of Tenochtitlan, the ancient Aztec capital city, and the surrounding lagoons of Chalco and Tescuco. The map is part of the prestigious Lorenzana-Borbón collection, housed in the Public Library of Toledo, Spain. This collection is renowned for its extensive and valuable collection of historical maps, charts, and atlases. The map's intricate cartographic representation of the region highlights the various territories, settlements, and geographical features of the area during the late 18th century. The lush green lagoons of Chalco and Tescuco, located to the east and southeast of Tenochtitlan, respectively, are depicted with remarkable accuracy, reflecting the cartographer's expertise and attention to detail. The map's historical significance lies in its ability to provide valuable insights into the geography, settlement patterns, and administrative divisions of the Archbishopric of Mexico during the Spanish colonial period. The map's vertical orientation, a less common perspective for maps of the time, adds to its unique character and makes it a fascinating addition to any collection of historical cartography or Mexican history. The map's rich history and intricate details make it a must-see for scholars, historians, and anyone with an interest in the history of Mexico, cartography, or colonial-era Spain. The map is a testament to the skill and dedication of Antonio de Alzate and the importance of the Lorenzana-Borbón collection in preserving and showcasing historical maps and atlases.
