EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Columbus Breaking The Egg" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a facsimile of Hogarth's own engraving. Published in London in 1833, this historical piece by Ken Welsh captures an iconic scene that has become synonymous with Christopher Columbus and his discovery of America. The horizontal composition allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the intricate details of the illustration. The plate depicts Columbus at the center, surrounded by onlookers eagerly observing his every move. With determination etched on his face, he is seen breaking an egg using a simple technique that astounds those around him. Hogarth's masterful engraving skillfully brings this pivotal moment to life, emphasizing both the significance of Columbus' achievement and the ingenuity required for groundbreaking discoveries. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, Welsh beautifully recreates Hogarth's original work while adding his unique touch. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Columbus' historic voyage but also of our own potential for innovation and exploration. It serves as a timeless reminder that great accomplishments often require thinking outside the box or even breaking conventions altogether.
