EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Discovery of San Domingo" takes us back in time to the Middle Ages and Renaissance era. Engraved by Paul Lacroix in 1878, it beautifully captures an important moment in history attributed to Christopher Columbus. The image depicts the landing of Columbus on the island of Hispaniola, now known as Haiti and the Dominican Republic. As we gaze at this woodcut engraving, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that must have filled the air during this significant voyage. Intriguingly, we see indigenous people offering their hospitality to Columbus and his crew upon their arrival. The scene showcases a galleon anchored near the shore while natives approach with offerings, symbolizing a harmonious encounter between two cultures. This artwork not only represents a historical event but also serves as a reminder of exploration, discovery, and cultural exchange. It transports us to an era when brave mariners embarked on perilous journeys across uncharted waters in search of new lands. As we admire this remarkable piece from Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and Renaissance collection, let us appreciate its significance in shaping our understanding of America's early encounters with European explorers.
