EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "COLUMBUS: SAN SALVADOR" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the landing of Christopher Columbus at San Salvador (Guanahani) in the Bahamas on 12 October 1492. The steel engraving, created in the 19th century by John Vanderlyn, beautifully captures this pivotal event. In this image, we see Christopher Columbus and his crew stepping onto the shores of San Salvador with a sense of awe and anticipation. Dressed in Renaissance-era attire, Columbus holds his sword firmly as a symbol of authority and exploration. The men behind him carry muskets, ready to protect their expedition. The scene is filled with religious symbolism as well. A large cross stands tall on the beach, representing Catholicism's influence on these early explorations. The Spanish flag flutters proudly above them, signifying Spain's support for this voyage into uncharted territory. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the bravery and ambition that drove Columbus to embark on his historic journey across the Atlantic Ocean. This moment marked not only the discovery of new lands but also paved the way for future expeditions that would forever change our understanding of geography and shape Latin America's destiny. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection for us to appreciate and reflect upon one of humanity's most transformative eras - The Age of Discovery.
