EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Mausoleum of Columbus in Santo Domingo, taken in 1873. The mausoleum stands as a testament to the historical significance of Hispaniola, the very island where Christopher Columbus first set foot on his voyage to America in 1492. Returning the following year, he established the first Spanish settlement in the New World. The photograph showcases the grandeur of this architectural marvel nestled within the Caribbean landscape. Its exterior exudes an air of solemnity and reverence, reflecting its purpose as a final resting place for one of history's most renowned explorers. This engraving beautifully depicts every intricate detail of this significant building. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported back in time to witness a concept that has stood strong for centuries - burial and remembrance. The Mausoleum of Columbus symbolizes not only death but also celebrates his legacy and contributions to our understanding of geography and exploration. Through art media captured by Samuel Hazard, we are reminded once again of Christopher Columbus' profound impact on world history. This print serves as a reminder that even today, his name continues to evoke curiosity and fascination among those who seek to understand our past.
