“Columbus Landing in America” by Sarah K. Thorne- Price Upon Request
“Columbus Landing in America” by Sarah K. Thorne, Boston, circa 1800. This rare depiction of Columbus is one of only four known. They are all based on “fake news” and “politically incorrect,” so it will be interesting to see if Antiques and The Arts Weekly allows this thing to be published. The other three are either known to be from, or attributed to Susanna Rowson’s Academy in Boston. The scene is derived from “The Landing of Christopher Columbus,” engraved by David Edwin (1776–1841) after a painting by Edward Savage published in the year 1800. Inscribed on the glass: Embroidered By Sarah K. Thorne Columbus Landing In America. This work is silk and watercolor on silk, measuring 31½ by 25½ framed.
