EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history in the form of a 10c Columbus Presenting Natives single stamp from 1893. Created by the American Bank Note Company, this mint stamp features a design taken from Luigi Gregori's painting titled "Columbus Presenting Natives". The stamp was printed in sheets of 100 and then cut into panes of 50 for distribution. Today, only a few intact sheets of 100 and panes of 50 remain. With a quantity issued totaling to an impressive number of 16,516,950 stamps, this piece represents both the artistry and significance behind Christopher Columbus' expedition to America. The engraving showcases Columbus presenting natives to Isabella I, Queen of Castile and Spain. It serves as a reminder of colonialism's impact on indigenous cultures during that time period. The intricate details captured through ink black brown engraving highlight the historical context surrounding exploration and colonization in the fifteenth century. This print not only holds educational value but also serves as an important artifact representing European expeditions to new continents. As we reflect on our heritage art, it is crucial to acknowledge both its beauty and complexities. This image invites us to contemplate the past while considering its implications for our present-day society.
