EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures the historic moment of Christopher Columbus discovering America in 1492. Created by an unknown artist, it is believed to be the earliest depiction of Columbus himself. In this woodcut, Ferdinand II of Aragon can be seen pointing towards Columbus as they approach land on the Santa Maria, accompanied by the Pinta and Nina ships. The image showcases the concept of exploration and highlights the significance of water transport during that time period. It symbolizes a new chapter in history as Columbus sets foot on what would later become known as the New World. The portrait-like caricature emphasizes his role as an explorer who paved the way for future discoveries. Transportation played a crucial role in this expedition, with ships being essential for long-distance travel. The print also alludes to royalty and power, with Ferdinand II sitting on a throne aboard one of these vessels. As we admire this 15th-century woodcut, we are reminded of how Christopher Columbus's journey forever changed our world. This image serves as a visual representation of his majesty's voyage across uncharted waters towards an unknown destination - ultimately leading to the discovery and colonization of America.
