EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Llonch, published in 'La Ilustracion' in 1887, depicts a significant moment in Barcelona's history. The plinth of the monument of Christopher Columbus is being moved, marking the beginning of its relocation. Columbus, an admiral from Genoa, Italy, is famously known for his role in the discovery of the Americas in the late 15th century. The monument, a symbol of Spain's colonial past, was originally erected in 1888 for the Universal Exposition held in Barcelona. The image captures a group of men, possibly Catalan, carefully transferring the heavy plinth, with the help of a machine, while others watch and contemplate the progress. The chimney in the background suggests the industrial age, adding a contemporary element to the scene. Columbus, standing tall and imposing, observes the movement of his monument with a thoughtful expression. The discovery of the Americas marked the beginning of colonization and the exchange of goods, ideas, and people between Europe and the New World. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history of exploration and navigation that shaped the world as we know it today. The movement of the plinth also symbolizes the passage of time and the changing perspectives towards historical monuments and their significance in modern society.
