Pencilled on the record is the title naming this as a reproduction of Sir Antonio Moro's portrait of Christopher Columbus, a 16th-century Netherlandish-born painter who worked at the Spanish court. The print dates to about 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus's first voyage across the Atlantic, when American and European interest in his life and image ran high. Reproductions of older portraits like this one helped spread a standard face for the explorer in that anniversary year. The record notes a U.S. Copyright Office deposit, and the attribution and date come from an unverified shelflist card.
