The Sign of the Cross - A Captivating Glimpse into Historical Adventures in America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Sign of the Cross" takes us on a visual journey through time and space. Created by Henry Sandham, a renowned artist from the late 19th century, this color lithograph transports us to an era filled with thrilling adventures and historical significance. The image showcases a scene from Ascott R Hope's book "Adventures in America" published in 1909. It depicts a native American Indian performing the sign of the cross, symbolizing their encounter with Spanish explorers during the early days of European colonization. With its vibrant red hues and intricate details, this artwork beautifully captures both the cultural clash between indigenous peoples and European settlers as well as their shared history. The presence of Spanish influence is evident in the attire worn by both parties, highlighting Spain's significant role in shaping North America's past. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how intertwined our world's history truly is. From Europe to America, from Spain to Native Americans - these connections shaped not only individual nations but also entire continents. This print serves as a powerful reminder that understanding our collective history can foster empathy and appreciation for diverse cultures. It invites us to reflect on our shared humanity while acknowledging the complexities that have shaped our present-day society.
