EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Christopher Columbus returning from his first voyage in the 15th century. Taken in the 1920s, it showcases a group of distinguished men gathered indoors to commemorate this monumental event. The setting is believed to be inside the city of Barcelona, where Columbus was welcomed with great pomp and ceremony. The image exudes an air of grandeur as we witness the reception given to this renowned explorer upon his arrival. Amongst those present are members of royalty, including a king and queen, who have eagerly awaited Columbus' return. Their regal presence adds an extra layer of significance to this already momentous occasion. As our eyes wander through the photograph, we notice Columbus standing tall amongst his admirers. His triumphant expression reflects both pride and accomplishment after successfully completing his groundbreaking expedition that forever changed history. This particular print is part of a cigar card collection from the early 20th century that aimed to promote Cuban cigars produced by Susini y La Corona Tabacalera Cubana company. However, let us not dwell on its commercial origins but instead appreciate how it allows us a glimpse into one of humanity's most significant journeys – marking the beginning of colonialism and shaping our world as we know it today.
