EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Christopher Columbus landing in the New World. The illustration, featured in The Quest of The Indies and published in 1920, depicts this monumental event with great detail and artistry. In the image, we see Columbus standing on a pristine island shore, surrounded by his crew members who have just disembarked from their ships. With hands clasped together in prayer and eyes closed, Columbus appears to be deep in worship or contemplation as he gazes towards a statue of the crucifixion. The scene is filled with an air of reverence and awe as the explorers partake in a solemn ceremony to mark their arrival on this uncharted land. It is evident that they are taking this momentous occasion seriously, recognizing it as a significant milestone not only for themselves but also for future generations. The composition beautifully portrays the explorer's sense of wonderment and gratitude towards God for guiding them safely across treacherous waters to this new frontier. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination exhibited by those who ventured into unknown territories during the Age of Discovery. Preserved through time, this remarkable artwork allows us to reflect upon one of history's most pivotal moments - when two worlds collided forever changing human civilization.
