Christopher Columbus - a large and impressive lace fabric to hang on the wall - a souvenir from the events marking the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the American continent. United States, 1892. Museum item.
In the center of the map is embroidered the image of Columbus with a sword in his hand standing on a semicircle on which the word "AMERICA" is embroidered and the years 1842-1892. All around are impressive decorations. The decorations were all made using the technique of dense lace threads that form the figure and inscription.
The land discovered by Columbus during his first voyage westward is the first documented and proven discovery of the American continent by the people of Europe. His determination to sail into the unknown revealed to Europe at that time the "New World", thus opening a new chapter in the history of the world and bringing about far-reaching changes in the entire world.
