EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 16th century, specifically the 1520s, when Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano made his historic landing in Newport harbor. The hand-colored woodcut, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures this significant moment of exploration and discovery. As we gaze at this vintage illustration, we are transported to Narragansett Bay, where Verrazano's sailing ship gracefully glides through the calm waters. The artist skillfully portrays the ship's intricate details and traditional design, reminding us of its rich heritage. Verrazano himself stands proudly on deck as he sets foot on North American soil for the first time. This Florentine navigator embarked on an eastern expedition that would forever change history. His arrival marked a crucial step towards uncovering new lands and establishing connections between different parts of the world. The significance of this illustration lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical importance. It serves as a reminder of Verrazano's role as a discoverer and his contribution to our understanding of the New World. Moreover, it highlights Newport's place in early American history as one of the first points of contact between Europe and North America. With every glance at this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of our collective past and how exploration has shaped our present-day world.
