EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, skillfully created by James Smillie after a work by Seth Eastman, transports us back to the momentous landing of Hernando de Soto at Tampa Bay in May 1539. The image vividly captures the essence of this Spanish explorer and conquistador who played a significant role in shaping history. Hernando de Soto, with his unwavering determination and thirst for exploration, embarked on an arduous journey that would forever alter the course of events in what is now known as the United States of America. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to that fateful day when De Soto first set foot on Florida's shores. The artist's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical scene. We can almost feel the anticipation and excitement emanating from De Soto and his crew as they disembark their vessels onto unfamiliar terrain. The vastness of Tampa Bay stretches out before them, promising untold adventures and encounters with indigenous peoples. This engraving serves not only as a tribute to De Soto but also as a window into an era long past. It reminds us of the courage and ambition that drove explorers like him to venture into uncharted territories, leaving behind legacies that continue to shape our world today. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of artistry, let it serve as a reminder of our shared human history—a testament to both triumphs and tragedies—and an invitation to explore
