EDITORS COMMENTS
Columbus Taking Possession of the Island of St. Salvador: A Pivotal Moment in the History of Discovery This evocative engraving, titled "Columbus taking possession of the Island of St. Salvador; Columbus and his Discoveries 1492," is an intriguing glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was still largely unknown to Europeans. The image, created in 1854, is believed to have been published in the "Cassells Illustrated Family Paper; London Weekly" between December 31, 1853, and December 30, 1854. The scene depicts Christopher Columbus, the intrepid explorer from Genoa, Italy, standing proudly on the shores of an island, believed to be either Guanahani or San Salvador in the Caribbean. With a confident stride, Columbus plants the Spanish flag into the ground, symbolizing the claim of the New World for Spain. The moment is filled with significance, marking the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Surrounding Columbus are his crew members, some of whom are raising the Spanish flag on other parts of the island. The men, all dressed in the attire of the fifteenth century, are depicted with a sense of awe and wonder, their eyes taking in the unfamiliar sights and sounds of this new land. The print also includes several other intriguing details. In the background, a caravel, a type of ship commonly used during Columbus' voyages, can be seen anchored in the waters. The flag of Genoa, Columbus' birthplace, is visible on the ship's mast, a testament to his Genoese heritage. This historic engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of European exploration and discovery, a time when the world was still filled with mystery and wonder. It is a reminder of the courage and determination of Columbus and his crew, who set sail from Europe, not knowing what they would find, but driven by the desire to explore and discover new lands.
