The Landing of Christopher Columbus on the island of San Salvador, 1492
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the landing of Christopher Columbus on the island of San Salvador. Published in Barcelona in 1878, it depicts the iconic scene from "The Discovery of America" series. In this image, we see Columbus and his crew stepping onto the shores of an unknown land. The galleon stands tall in the background, its sails billowing with anticipation. A Christian flag proudly flutters atop its mast, symbolizing both faith and conquest. As Columbus sets foot on this new territory, he is greeted by native inhabitants who look upon him with curiosity and wonder. The encounter between these two worlds is beautifully portrayed here - a meeting that would forever change the course of history. Columbus presents himself as a representative of European civilization, holding a cross to assert Christianity's influence over these lands. Meanwhile, natives observe this strange arrival cautiously yet respectfully. The engraving expertly captures both excitement and trepidation felt by all parties involved. It serves as a reminder that exploration often comes at great cost but also holds immense potential for discovery and understanding. This lithograph transports us back to that fateful day in October 1492 when Christopher Columbus first set foot on American soil - an event that marked not only his personal triumph but also opened up new horizons for human civilization itself.
