Beautiful Illustrations

Although this is considered a history book, it could as easily be considered an art book. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is written, the second is illustrated. The first part is essentially an essay, as it goes through the conquest of Mexico in less than tirty pages. The text is very easy to read and can be read by adolescents. The second part is the true gem of this book as the illustrations are by Keith Henderson,who illustrated the two-volume edition of "The Conquest of Mexico" by Prescott. Henderson was so impressed with Prescott's "The Conquest Of Mexico" that he created these pen and ink drawings in 1922. The original prints have long been out of print but have been revived here. The ilustrations are exceptional and not to be missed by any history buff or lover of art that deals with the Aztecs and their conquest.
