EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1848 depicts Francisco de Orellana's historic Amazon Expedition of 1541. The image showcases the intrepid explorers sailing down the mighty Amazon River in search of gold amidst the lush wilderness and dense jungle. As they navigate through this uncharted territory, rowing their way deeper into the unknown, one can almost feel the sense of adventure and anticipation that must have accompanied them on this perilous journey. The engraving beautifully captures the spirit of exploration during the Renaissance period, a time when brave individuals set out to discover new lands and expand their understanding of the world. It is a testament to human curiosity and ambition, as well as a reminder of how vast and mysterious our planet once was. The expedition itself represents an important chapter in history, marking Orellana's discovery of what would later be known as the Amazon River. This remarkable find opened up new possibilities for trade routes and colonization in South America, forever changing our perception of this untamed region. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when travel meant venturing into unexplored territories with nothing but determination and courage. It serves as a reminder that even today, there are still places waiting to be discovered and stories waiting to be told - all we need is an adventurous spirit like those who came before us.
