EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 30c Columbus at La Rabida single stamp, created in 1893 by the renowned American Bank Note Company. The design of the stamp was inspired by an exquisite painting titled "Columbus at La Rabida" by R. Maso. This mint condition stamp was printed in sheets of 100 and then cut into panes of 50 for distribution purposes. Interestingly, there are still a few intact sheets of 100 stamps as well as panes of 50 that have survived to this day. A total quantity of 617,250 stamps were issued during that time. The image on the stamp depicts Christopher Columbus, the famous explorer from the fifteenth century who embarked on his historic expedition to discover new lands. He is depicted alongside a loyal dog, symbolizing companionship and loyalty throughout his journey. This stunning piece not only holds historical significance but also represents the artistry and craftsmanship involved in engraving such intricate designs onto paper using ink colors like orange-brown. As we admire this unique postage stamp, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and cultural connections with explorers like Columbus who played significant roles in shaping America's history.
