EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, dated 1807, depicts the legendary ship Victoria, proudly anchored in the port of Seville, Spain. The Victoria, a Nao (a type of Spanish galleon), had completed an unprecedented journey around the world under the command of Spanish explorers Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano. This momentous achievement marked the first successful circumnavigation of the globe, opening new horizons for exploration and trade. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the Andalusian people as they gather to welcome the Victoria and her crew back to their homeland. The sailors, clad in their contemporary attire and hats, stand proudly on the deck, basking in the honor and joy of their accomplishment. The people of Seville, dressed in the fashion of the 16th and 19th centuries, line the shore, turning to witness this historic event. The Pacific Ocean, which had once been shrouded in mystery, now became a new frontier for exploration and discovery. The Victoria's arrival in Seville marked the beginning of a new era in Spanish history, filled with tribute, wealth, and the promise of further exploration. This engraving, colored to bring the scene to life, is a testament to the courage, determination, and curiosity of the explorers and the people of the age, who dared to turn the unknown into the known.
