EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the parting of Christopher Columbus with Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon on 3rd August 1492. The image, taken from an engraving by Theodorus de Brys, beautifully depicts the departure of Columbus for his explorations to India. In this colorised print, we see Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand standing alongside Columbus at the harbor. Their regal presence symbolizes their crucial role as patrons who funded Columbus's expeditions. As they bid farewell to the intrepid explorer, one can sense a mix of anticipation, hope, and trepidation in their expressions. The image not only showcases historical figures but also offers glimpses into life during the 15th century. The surrounding architecture reflects the era's architectural style while ships in the background hint at transportation methods prevalent during that time. This photograph is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates concepts such as exploration, colonialism, sovereignty, and literature. It serves as a reminder of how pivotal moments like these shaped our world today. Preserved within this print is an invaluable piece of history that continues to intrigue scholars and enthusiasts alike. Its inclusion in "A Book of Discovery" published by T. C & E. C Jack Ltd in 1912 ensures its enduring legacy for generations to come.
