EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the blessing of Vasco da Gama's expedition to the Indian Ocean. The lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, showcases this pivotal event with great detail and artistry. In this scene, we witness a solemn ceremony taking place at the Basilica de Santa Maria Cathedral in Lisbon. Vasco da Gama, the renowned Portuguese navigator who sailed through uncharted waters to reach the South Seas, stands at the center of attention. His daring enterprise is about to be blessed by royal patronage. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as religious figures surround da Gama, preparing to bestow their blessings upon him and his crew. The cathedral's grandeur serves as a majestic backdrop for this historic occasion. This lithograph was originally commissioned for an edition of the Harmsworth History of the World around 1910. Its inclusion in this prestigious publication speaks volumes about its significance and historical value. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of Vasco da Gama's remarkable journey and his role in shaping world history. This print allows us to glimpse into a time when exploration and discovery were met with reverence and celebration.
