This picture is a reproduction that gathers four engravings under the single title "First America's discoverers," so it reads as a visual survey rather than one scene. The record gives no date, so the age of the original engravings is unknown, but the subject covers the long sequence of voyages that brought Europeans to the Americas, from Norse landings around the year 1000 to Columbus's crossing in 1492 and later voyages such as John Cabot's in 1497. Compositions that group several engravings like this were common in illustrated histories, where they offered readers a quick overview of exploration. Comparing the four smaller scenes shows how artists of the period chose to portray the explorers and their ships.
