EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1493, when Christopher Columbus founded Isabella, a historic settlement on the island of Hispaniola. Hand-colored and beautifully reproduced as a woodcut, this vintage illustration transports us to an era of maritime exploration and colonial expansion. The image showcases the bustling town nestled along the coast, with its charming houses and narrow streets leading towards the sparkling ocean. Intriguingly, we can spot a majestic ship anchored at the sea port—a symbol of discovery and adventure that brought colonists from Spain to this new world. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Queen Isabella's pivotal role in supporting Columbus' voyages and her significant influence on shaping history. The rich history surrounding Isabella comes alive through this artful depiction. It represents not only a milestone in Spanish exploration but also marks the birthplace of Santo Domingo—the first permanent European settlement in America. This remarkable piece invites us to explore our past by delving into tales of bravery, ambition, and cultural exchange that unfolded during those early years. With its meticulous details capturing life in the 15th century Caribbean, this print serves as both an educational tool for historians and an exquisite work of art for enthusiasts seeking to delve into New World history.
