EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in history - the fleet of Pedro Alvares Cabral's expedition to India in 1500. In this image, we witness six out of the thirteen Portuguese ships that embarked on this remarkable journey, which ultimately led to the discoveries of Brazil and Madagascar. The photograph is taken from a mid-16th century Portuguese record book, adding an air of authenticity and historical significance. The intricate manuscript illumination surrounding the image further enhances its allure, capturing the essence of the Renaissance era. It transports us back to a time when exploration and adventure were at their peak during what is known as the age of exploration. As we gaze upon these sailing ships navigating through uncharted waters, we can almost feel ourselves being swept away by their audacity and courage. The text accompanying this visual masterpiece provides valuable context for understanding the magnitude of Cabral's expedition. This print serves as a reminder not only of Portugal's pivotal role in shaping world history but also highlights how human curiosity knows no bounds when it comes to exploring new horizons. It invites us to reflect on our own thirst for discovery and reminds us that there are still countless mysteries waiting to be unraveled beyond our familiar shores.
