EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry the Navigator, a prominent Portuguese prince and the visionary founder of a renowned school of navigation during the 15th century. The image captures his influential role in shaping Portugal's exploration and trade endeavors. From his strategic base at Sagres in the Algarve region, Henry (1394-1460) sponsored numerous groundbreaking voyages into the vast Atlantic Ocean. These expeditions led to remarkable discoveries and successful colonization efforts in Madeira, the Azores, Cape Verde Islands, as well as extensive explorations along Africa's west coast. Henry's school of navigation played a pivotal role in advancing maritime knowledge and technology.

In this portrait-like photograph, we witness Henry's regal presence adorned in medieval attire with an elegant hat that befits his royal status.
