October 12, 1492: A New Era Begins - The Landing of Christopher Columbus at San Salvador This evocative image captures the momentous occasion of Christopher Columbus's landing in the New World, specifically at San Salvador in the Bahamas, on October 12, 1492. The print, titled "The Landing of Christopher Columbus in America, at San Salvador, October 12th A.D. 1492," is a testament to the historical significance of this event that marked the beginning of permanent European settlement in the Americas. In the foreground, Columbus, dressed in his finest attire, steps off the side of his ship, the Santa Maria, with a sense of awe and wonderment. The flag of Spain, held aloft by a crew member, flutters proudly in the breeze, symbolizing the arrival of a new power in the New World. Behind Columbus, the native inhabitants of the island, the Lucayans, gaze curiously at the intruders. The population of the New World was estimated to be around 50 million at the time of Columbus's arrival, with diverse cultures and languages. This encounter between the Old World and the New would forever change the course of history, leading to the spread of European influence, the exchange of goods, ideas, and diseases, and the eventual colonization of the Americas. The print, an original from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a powerful reminder of the transformative impact of Columbus's voyage and the beginning of a new era in world history.
