Columbus Day Images
On this page we included 2 images acquired from the Library of Congress. They depict two 19th century versions of the landing of Columbus in the New World.
We choose these 2 jpgs because they are excellent works of art and because they have the clearest copyright information of all the 19th century Columbus images.
Happy Columbus Day!
