Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was a renowned Genoese explorer who made significant contributions to the world of discovery and navigation. His journey began with the reception by the Spanish court in Barcelona, as depicted in a print from 1892. This event marked the beginning of his ambitious quest to find new trade routes. One of Columbus's notable achievements was the discovery of Santo Domingo, Insula Hyspana, which is beautifully captured in a facsimile wood engraving from Paul Lacroix's book published in London in 1878. This momentous finding opened up new possibilities for exploration and colonization. In 1494, Christopher Columbus landed in America, leaving an indelible mark on history. A red crayon drawing depicts this pivotal moment when he first set foot on American soil, forever changing the course of human civilization. Throughout his expeditions, Columbus maintained correspondence with various individuals and entities. One such letter showcases his thoughts and experiences during his fourth voyage to Jamaica between 1502-1504. An engraving by Theodore de Bry vividly portrays his battle against Francisco Poraz during this tumultuous period. Another letter written by Columbus in 1493 provides insight into his encounters and observations while exploring unknown territories. These letters offer valuable historical records that shed light on the challenges faced by early explorers like him. Despite being celebrated for his accomplishments, there were instances where Christopher Columbus had to make difficult decisions as a representative of Spain. An engraving by Theodore de Bry illustrates how he condemned Spanish revolts to death—an unfortunate but necessary measure taken during turbulent times. The landing of Columbus remains one of the most iconic moments associated with him—a monumental event that symbolizes bravery and determination. The image captures this historic occasion when he arrived on American shores amidst great anticipation and excitement. Christopher Columbus's legacy endures through time as a pioneering figure who paved the way for future explorers.
