EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Catholic Kings Receiving Columbus in Barcelona after His First Voyage," is a visual testament to a pivotal moment in history. Dated back to April 1493, the image depicts the Monarchs of Castile and Aragon, Ferdinand II and Isabella of Trastamara, in an audience with the newly-arrived explorer, Christopher Columbus. The scene unfolds at The House of the Generalitat in Barcelona, marking the first European reception of the indigenous people brought back from the New World by Columbus. The Catholic Monarchs, dressed in the grandeur of the 15th century, are seated on their thrones, with Ferdinand II holding a scepter and Isabella, a fan. Columbus, standing before them, is shown presenting the native people to the Monarchs, who are intrigued and fascinated by their appearance. The engraving, from "The Illustrated World," published by Union in 1882, offers a modern age perspective on this significant historical event. The image is a vibrant representation of the encounter between the Old World and the New, a moment that forever changed the course of human history. The rich colors and intricate details in this engraving bring the scene to life, allowing us to witness the wonder and excitement of the discovery of the New World, as experienced by the Catholic Kings and Columbus.
