Images of Christopher Columbus and
His Voyages
Selections from the Collections of the Library of Congress |
No portrait of Columbus drawn or painted from life is known to
exist. Many images depicting Columbus and his activities, however,
can be found in the Library's collections. The images in this list
were selected to meet requests regularly received by the Library
of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. This list represents
a modified form of a printed "illustrated list" made
available for many years by the Division.
The images are presented for educational and research purposes.
The Library of Congress is unaware of any restrictions on the use
of the images. However, patrons who plan to publish or otherwise
distribute any of the images should be aware that determination
regarding the appropriate use of an image ultimately rests with
the patron. The Library generally does not own rights to material
in its collections. Therefore, it does not charge permission fees
for use of such material and cannot give or deny permission for
use of the images. For further information, see "Copyright
and Other Restrictions ... Sources for Information"
Photographic copies of the images may be ordered through the Library
of Congress Photoduplication Service.
