EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and valuable piece of history - the "$2 Columbus in Chains block of four, 1893". Created by an unknown artist during the Columbian Exposition issue, this stunning collectible transports us back to the 19th century America. The image depicts Christopher Columbus, the famed explorer, in chains symbolizing his captivity. It serves as a powerful reminder of colonialism and its impact on American society. The intricate details of this engraving are brought to life through ink brown and red colors, adding depth and richness to the artwork. As we observe this historical artifact, we can't help but ponder upon concepts like communication, education, navigation, and exploration that were integral parts of Columbus' journey. Housed within the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , this postage stamp holds great significance not only for philatelists but also for those interested in heritage art. Its presence evokes thoughts about our nation's past while serving as a testament to our ongoing commitment towards preserving historical treasures. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by an anonymous creator from centuries ago, it reminds us of how far we have come as a country. Let it serve as a reminder that even though some aspects of our history may be difficult or controversial, they continue to shape who we are today - united states bound together by shared experiences and aspirations for progress.
