EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Fort at Navidad, built in 1493 on Hispaniola by Christopher Columbus and his crew. Constructed primarily from the salvaged timbers of their ship, the Santa Maria, this fort symbolizes the resilience and resourcefulness of these early explorers. Nestled along the picturesque coastline of the Caribbean Sea, this fortified structure stands as a testament to Columbus' significant role in shaping our understanding of the New World during the Age of Discovery. The woodcut image featured here is taken from an illustrated edition of Columbus' letter to Gabriel Sanchez, adding a touch of authenticity and historical significance. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these brave men established one of Spain's first colonies in Latin America. The fort's strategic location allowed for exploration and navigation across vast oceans that were previously uncharted. The intricate details captured within this woodcut invite us to imagine what life must have been like for those early Spanish settlers. It serves as a reminder that every tree used in its construction played a vital role not only in building shelter but also forging connections between continents. Let this remarkable print serve as a window into history—a tribute to Christopher Columbus' pioneering spirit and his enduring legacy on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
