EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a block of four 1c Columbus in Sight of Land stamps, dating back to the year 1893. Created by an unknown artist, this particular set belongs to the 1c Columbian Exposition issue and represents a significant piece of American history from the 19th century. The image features Christopher Columbus aboard his ship, with land finally in sight after a long voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The deep blue engraving captures the essence of exploration and discovery during this era. It serves as a reminder of colonialism and its impact on indigenous people, depicted here as American Indians who were affected by invasions like that led by Columbus. Beyond its historical significance, this print also symbolizes communication and transportation advancements at that time. Postage stamps played an essential role in facilitating correspondence between individuals across different locations within America's vast territory. This stamp collection is now preserved at the National Postal Museum under the Smithsonian Institution's care. As we admire this heritage art piece, let us reflect upon our country's complex past while appreciating how far we have come since then. May it serve as a reminder to honor native cultures and embrace education about our shared history.
