EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the historic moment of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. The artist Bonatti skillfully captures the essence of this monumental event, showcasing Genoese explorer and navigator Columbus presenting gifts to the first natives who greeted him on his landing in America. Sponsored by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, Columbus embarked on a daring voyage to discover a westward route to Asia. Little did he know that he would stumble upon the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which he claimed for Spain. In this image, we see him surrounded by lush nature, with towering palm trees serving as witnesses to his extraordinary journey. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring forth a sense of wonder and excitement that must have filled both Columbus and the native people during their encounter. The men and women dressed in traditional attire symbolize two worlds colliding—a metaphorical representation of exploration meeting with ancient cultures. This remarkable artwork is part of Il Costume Antico et Moderno by Giulio Ferrario, published between 1817-1826 in Milan. It serves as a testament to the significance of Christopher Columbus's expedition—ushering in an era that forever changed history. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us not only of past discoveries but also prompts us to reflect on our own journeys towards new horizons.
