Summary

Description
English: An allegory on the journeys of Christoph Columbus:
The copper plate engraving from Theodore De Bry shows Christopher Columbus standing in his ship, which is near the shore. He wears a long mantle and an undercoat, his armor lies at his feet. The standard is floating from the foremast. Behind him, with a shield and a spear, stands Minerva donating a branch of laurel to Columbus. Behind Minerva is Mars. Close to Mars are two Sirens. In the sea are some harpies. On the left, what is similar to the east, the sun rises over the new land just discovered.
Deutsch: Der Kupferstich von Theodore De Bry zeigt Christoph Kolumbus auf seinem Schiff stehend, das sich nahe der Küste befindet. Er trägt einen langen Ärmellosen Umhang, seine Rüstung liegt zu seinen Füßen. Die Standarte flattert am Fockmast. Hinter ihm, mit Schild und Speer, steht Minerva die ihm einen Lorbeerzweig reicht. Hinter Minerva befindet sich Mars. Nahe bei Mars sind zwei Sirenen. Im Meer befinden sich einige Harpyien. Auf der linken, also im Osten, erhebt sich die Sonnen über dem neuentdeckten Land.
