EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - "The Voyage of Columbus". Illustrated by Arthur C. Michael and featured in the book "This Country of Ours, The Story of the United States" by H. E. Marshall in 1917, this color lithograph transports us back to the 16th century. In this scene, we witness Christopher Columbus and his crew aboard their ships as they sail through uncharted waters. Days have passed without any sign of land, causing restlessness among the men. Doubt begins to creep into their minds, leading to murmurs of unrest. Columbus himself stands tall on deck, portrayed with determination and resolve despite the growing agitation around him. As one of history's greatest explorers, he embodies the spirit of adventure that led him to discover new lands and pave the way for future generations. The composition is filled with movement and action - sails billowing in the wind, waves crashing against the hulls, sailors bustling about their duties. The three ships - Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria - symbolize both courage and uncertainty as they navigate into unknown territory. This image serves as a reminder of America's rich exploration heritage while also capturing a sense of anticipation for what lies beyond the horizon. It encapsulates an important chapter in American history when brave individuals like Columbus embarked on daring journeys that would forever shape our nation's destiny.
