EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Christopher Columbus and his sons Diego and Ferdinand. Dating back to the 15th century, this engraving showcases the renowned navigator, colonizer, and one of the first Europeans to explore the Americas after the Vikings. While Columbus was not the first European to reach the Americas from Europe, his voyages played a pivotal role in raising general European awareness of this new hemisphere. Moreover, they led to successful establishment of European cultures in what came to be known as the New World. In this group portrait, we see Columbus sitting alongside his two sons. The image exudes an air of fatherhood and family unity. It offers us a glimpse into their lives during that era - a time when exploration was at its peak and discoveries were reshaping our understanding of geography. This ancient Spanish picture has been preserved over centuries and now finds itself in possession of Edward Horne Esq. , residing near Southampton. Its monochrome aesthetic adds an element of nostalgia while emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of Christopher Columbus' indelible mark on world history; forever etched as one who dared to venture into uncharted territories, paving the way for future explorers and shaping our modern world as we know it today.
