LANDING OF COLUMBUS: 1847 US CAPITOL ROTUNDA
This depicts Columbus’s first landing in the New World, on the island he called San Salvador, on October 12, 1492. Columbus is surrounded by his men on the beach. Discussing the landing in his journal, Columbus wrote that he “leaped on shore, and . . . took, possession of the said island for the King and for the Queen.”[1] In the engraving, he holds a sword in one hand and the royal banner of Aragon and Castile in the other, declaring the discovery for Spain. To the side, Native Americans watch the Europeans from behind a tree. In his journal, Columbus recorded that they “asked us if we had come from heaven” and called them “the best people in the world, and the gentlest.”[2] He also, however, made note of his plan to “with force . . . subjugate the whole island.”[3]
