EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of the letter from Christopher Columbus to the Bank of St. George, dated April 2, 1502. In this historical document, Columbus provides detailed instructions for the disposal of his worldly goods in the event of his death. The intricate calligraphy and carefully crafted words on display offer a glimpse into the mind of one of history's most renowned explorers. The image captures not only the elegance of Columbus' handwriting but also the weighty significance of his preparations for mortality. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak and adventurers like Columbus were pushing boundaries in search of new lands. The attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in calligraphic writing and the foresight exhibited by Columbus himself. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great men must face their own mortality and make provisions for what comes after. Overall, this print is a testament to both Columbus' legacy as an explorer and his humanity as a man facing his own mortality. It invites us to reflect on our own legacies and consider how we might prepare for whatever may come next.
