EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the EXPL2A-00089, a hand-colored woodcut of a 19th-century illustration depicting the iconic Caravel "Santa Maria". As the flagship of Christopher Columbus' first voyage, this historic vessel embarked on an extraordinary adventure that forever changed the course of history. The image captures the essence of maritime exploration as it depicts the ship sailing through vast ocean waters towards an unknown destination. The vintage charm exuded by this print transports us back to the late 15th century when brave explorers set sail in search of new lands and opportunities. The Caravel's distinctive design, with its lateen sail billowing in the wind, symbolizes both innovation and courage. The backdrop reveals a lush island in the Caribbean, hinting at Hispaniola - now known as Haiti and Dominican Republic - where fate would eventually lead Santa Maria to her tragic end. This artwork serves as a reminder of how discovery can sometimes come at great cost. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded not only of Columbus' monumental journey but also of Spain's pivotal role in shaping America's history. It invites us to reflect on our own thirst for exploration and reminds us that there is still much left to discover in our world today
