Sailing ships under full canvas cross open water in this color halftone, a reproduction of a 1927 painting by the illustrator N.C. Wyeth. The vessels evoke the fleet Christopher Columbus took westward from Spain in 1492, which included the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña. Halftone printing let paintings like this reach magazines and books in large runs, so the image helped shape how many Americans pictured the voyage in the years between the world wars.
