EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Vasco Da Gama's landing near Calicut, India in 1498. In this image, we see the Portuguese explorer and 1st Count of Vidigueira, Vasco Da Gama, stepping ashore onto unfamiliar land after a long and treacherous journey. Da Gama's arrival marked a significant milestone in exploration and discovery during the 15th century. As one of the great explorers alongside Christopher Columbus, he embarked on a daring voyage to find an alternate sea route to India from Europe. This expedition aimed to establish direct trade links with lucrative spice markets. The photograph beautifully portrays Da Gama's sailing ship anchored offshore while rowboats transport him and his crew towards their destination. The scene exudes a sense of anticipation as they approach the unknown shores of Calicut. Ken Welsh skillfully captures this pivotal moment in history through his lens, allowing us to witness firsthand the courage and determination that fueled these early explorers' ambitions. The image serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge and adventure. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary chapter in human exploration—a testament to our innate curiosity about distant lands waiting to be discovered.
