EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "America discovered before Columbus" takes us back in time to an era of exploration and adventure. The illustration, sourced from the Newnes Pictorial Book of Knowledge in 1920, depicts a pivotal moment in history when Leif Ericsson, the Viking Who Found America, set sail on his legendary voyage. The scene is filled with drama and excitement as a Viking long boat battles against fierce storms and treacherous waves. The ship's crew bravely navigates through the vast ocean towards their destination - North America. In this image, we catch glimpses of Canada, Nova Scotia, Greenland, Massachusetts, Labrador - all significant locations that played a role in this remarkable discovery. As we observe this engraving closely, it becomes evident that there is more than just the Vikings' presence at play here. American Indians engage in battle with these new arrivals from across the sea. This encounter between two cultures adds another layer to our understanding of early interactions on the continent. With its attention to detail and historical accuracy, this artwork by Archibald Webb transports us back centuries ago when brave explorers like Leif Ericsson ventured into uncharted territories. It serves as a reminder that history is not always what it seems; there are hidden stories waiting to be uncovered beneath its surface.
