EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history when the Spanish exploration expedition led by Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean on September 25, 1513. The image showcases the awe-inspiring sight of Balboa and his crew standing at the edge of this vast body of water, marking a significant milestone in their journey through Central America.
As they crossed the Isthmus of Darien (now Colombia-Panama), Balboa claimed possession of what he called the South Sea, forever changing the course of exploration and trade routes. The engraving from "History of the world" by Ridpath in 1885 beautifully depicts this historic event, highlighting Balboa's bold claim to this new territory.
The sense of adventure and discovery is palpable in this print, as we witness firsthand the bravery and determination of these early explorers who ventured into unknown lands in search of new horizons. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge that continues to drive us forward to explore new frontiers.
Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion that shaped our understanding of the world around us. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and courage, inspiring future generations to continue pushing boundaries and exploring beyond what is known.
