EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Vasco Nunes de Balboa, a Spanish conquistador and explorer, became the first European to lay eyes on the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean's eastern shores in September 1513. In this engraving from around 1860, we witness Balboa taking possession of Seas, Lands, Coasts, and Islands of the South in the name of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Castile. Balboa stands tall and resolute in this full-length depiction as he carries with him not only his own ambitions but also the weighty concepts of imperialism and colonialism that defined much of the 16th century. This image serves as a powerful reminder of an era marked by exploration, conquest, and immense historical significance. The illustration showcases a large group gathered around Balboa during this pivotal moment in history. The Spanish flag proudly waves above them all while they stand amidst nature's grandeur. Through this engraved image, we are transported back to a time when explorers like Balboa expanded empires through their audacious journeys into uncharted territories. With its vertical composition and attention to detail, this artwork offers us a glimpse into Spanish culture during that period. It serves as both an informative historical document and an artistic representation that encapsulates an extraordinary chapter in human exploration.
