The Landing of Columbus, (1877) - A Historic Moment in the New World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - Christopher Columbus arriving in America in 1492. Created by Albert Bobbett, this engraving depicts the Italian navigator and colonist stepping onto the shores of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, accompanied by his crew. Sponsored by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, Columbus embarked on a daring expedition to discover a westward route to Asia. In this scene from "Our Country: a Household History for All Readers" we witness not only the arrival of an explorer but also the beginning of European colonization in America. The flags proudly wave as Columbus plants his standard on these newfound lands, claiming them for Spain. However, it is important to acknowledge that this historic event was not without controversy. As depicted here, priests accompany Columbus and forcibly convert large numbers of indigenous people to Christianity. This engraving serves as a reminder of both exploration and invasion. Albert Bobbett's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to this significant moment where two worlds collided. With its monochrome aesthetic capturing every intricate line and shadow, this print invites us to reflect upon our shared history while acknowledging its complexities. As we gaze at this powerful image frozen in time, let us remember those who came before us - explorers like Christopher Columbus who forever changed the course of human civilization through their courage and ambition.
