EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the $2 Columbus in Chains single, created by the American Bank Note Company in 1893. The design of this stamp is believed to be inspired by a painting by Leutze from 1841, depicting an important moment in history. Printed in sheets of 100 and later cut into panes of 50 for distribution, it is unfortunate that intact sheets or panes are no longer known to exist. The largest multiple found so far is a block of 25 stamps. With a quantity issued totaling 45,550, this stamp holds great significance as it represents both the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. It symbolizes accusations made against Christopher Columbus during his expedition to America and sheds light on the cruelty and colonialism prevalent during that era. The engraving on this stamp beautifully captures the essence of historical exploration with its intricate details and use of ink brown red coloration. It serves as a reminder of our past while also educating us about significant figures like Francisco de Bobadilla who played a role in Columbus' journey. Preserved at the National Postal Museum, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind postage stamps but also their importance as communication tools throughout history. As we collect these pieces of heritage art, we gain insights into different countries' cultures and histories while celebrating notable explorers like Christopher Columbus.
