EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment in 1492 when Christopher Columbus, the intrepid explorer, bid farewell to the shores of La Rabida in Huelva, Spain, and set sail for the New World with the prior of the monastery, Juan Perez, accompanying him on his journey. The print, titled "Lorgues / Leaves for Palos," depicts Columbus and the prior standing on the deck of the Santa Maria, Columbus' flagship, as they prepare to leave the safety of the harbor at Palos de la Frontera. The prior, dressed in his monk's habit, holds a large cross aloft, offering a blessing to Columbus and his crew. Columbus, with a determined look in his eyes, gestures towards the open sea, signaling the beginning of an unprecedented voyage that would change the course of history. The image is a poignant reminder of the spiritual and exploratory motivations that fueled Columbus' expedition. The prior's presence on the voyage was significant, as he served as a moral compass and spiritual guide for Columbus and his crew, providing them with the support and guidance they needed to endure the challenges of the unknown. The prior's cross also symbolized the hope and faith that the explorers carried with them as they embarked on their journey to discover new lands and spread the message of Christianity to the people they would encounter. The print, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and sheds light on the complex motivations and events that shaped the history of the Americas. It is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's insatiable curiosity and the enduring power of faith and determination.
