"Tome 4 fol.14 Tlatelolco and the Lagoon" is a historical illustration from the "Teatro de la Nueva España" collection, attributed to Juan de Páez (fl. 17th century), a Spanish cartographer and illustrator. The "Teatro de la Nueva España" is a manuscript that provides a visual and textual record of the geography, urban settlements, and indigenous cultures of New Spain, an area that largely corresponds to modern-day Mexico and was under Spanish colonial rule from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

The illustration "Tlatelolco and the Lagoon" depicts the pre-Hispanic city of Tlatelolco, which was an important Aztec altepetl (city-state) located on an island in Lake Texcoco. Tlatelolco was known for its large market and its eventual conquest by the Spanish conquistadors, which led to its incorporation into the colonial city of Mexico City. The folio provides a detailed view of the city's layout, including its canals, causeways, and the surrounding lagoon, offering valuable insights into the urban planning and water management of the Aztec civilization.

The work is significant for its historical and cultural value, as it captures a moment in time before the complete transformation of the Aztec capital into a colonial city. It serves as a critical primary source for historians and researchers studying the early colonial period of New Spain, urban development in the Americas, and the interaction between indigenous societies and European colonizers.

As an artifact, "Tome 4 fol.14 Tlatelolco and the Lagoon" is an example of the detailed cartographic work that was produced during the colonial period, reflecting the Spanish Crown's interest in documenting and administering its overseas territories. The folio is part of a larger body of work that contributes to our understanding of the early modern world and the complexities of cultural exchange and colonization.
