EDITORS COMMENTS
Discovery of America, 12th of May, 1492 (engraving) captures a pivotal moment in history when Christopher Columbus arrived on the shores of Cat Island, now known as Guanahani in the Bahamas. This stunning print from the 19th century French School depicts Columbus erecting a cross and baptizing the island with the Christian name of St. Salvador. The engraving is based on a stamp created by Th. de Bry for his renowned collection "Grands Voyages" in 1590. It beautifully illustrates Paul Lacroix's book "Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages" published around 1890. In this digitally cleaned image, we witness Columbus' significant role in bridging two worlds together – Europe and America. The scene exudes an air of exploration and discovery that defined this era of Renaissance voyages. The engraving showcases intricate details such as medieval dress styles worn by both Europeans and indigenous people encountered by Columbus. It offers us a glimpse into their customs and manners during this transformative period. This artwork serves as a reminder of our collective past and how one man's voyage forever changed the course of history. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect upon the courage it took to venture into uncharted territories and celebrate humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge.
