EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a pivotal moment during the Second Voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1503, when he arrived at the shores of Jamaica. In this instance, Columbus and his crew were met with reluctance from the native Jamaicans, who refused to share their food supplies with the intruders. Desperate for sustenance, Columbus, aware of an upcoming lunar eclipse, seized the opportunity to use it as a means to instill fear in the natives. He confidently declared that their gods would deny the light during the eclipse as a sign of their displeasure, should they continue to withhold food from the Europeans. The engraving captures the tense atmosphere as the natives, once fearful of the eclipse's ominous signs, quickly changed their minds and offered an abundant supply of provisions to Columbus and his men. This historical account is taken from 'The Truthful History of the Conquest of New Spain' by Bernal Diaz del Castillo, published in 1807. The image, rich in detail and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the complex interactions between the Old and New Worlds during the early stages of European exploration and colonization.
