This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing the historic moment when Pedro Menendez de Aviles laid out the foundations of St. Augustine, Florida. The hand-colored woodcut, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures this significant event in American history. In this illustration, we witness a pioneering expedition as Menendez de Aviles and his fellow Spanish colonists arrive on North American soil. Their arrival marks the beginning of a new chapter - a colonial exploration that would shape the future of this land forever. The image portrays an atmosphere filled with excitement and anticipation as these brave settlers embark on their mission to establish a settlement in uncharted territory. With surveyors and construction workers at their side, they meticulously plan out what will become St. Augustine - America's oldest continuously inhabited European-established city. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to an era where discovery was paramount; where men like Menendez de Aviles paved the way for future generations to thrive upon these shores.
