EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Landing of Columbus in America during the 15th century. Taken in the 1920s, this image showcases a group of men standing on the exterior of an unknown location, possibly Cuba or another Caribbean island. The scene is filled with religious symbolism and national pride as flags wave proudly in the background. At precisely two o'clock in the morning on October 12,1492, a cannon shot from La Pinta signaled its arrival at Guanahani Island (later renamed San Salvador by Columbus). This historic event marked Christopher Columbus' first step onto American soil and set into motion centuries of exploration and colonialism. The photograph's composition emphasizes both the arrival and invasion concept. A banner bearing text can be seen, perhaps representing Christianity or proclaiming their presence to new lands. The men depicted exude determination and curiosity as they embark on this monumental journey into uncharted territories. Preserved through time, this print serves as a reminder of our shared past and highlights how exploration shaped not only America but also world history. It stands as an important artifact from the early 20th century when interest in historical events was flourishing. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to that pivotal moment when Christopher Columbus made his indelible mark on human civilization.
