Note 300 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

Such are the following: (1) In full dress, with ruff and rings, said to have been painted by Sir Anthony More for Margaret of the Netherlands, and taken to England in 1590,—engraved in one of the English editions of Irving, where also has appeared an engraving of a picture by Juan de Borgoña, painted in 1519 for the Chapter-room of the Cathedral of Toledo. (2) A full-length in mail, with ruff, in the Longa or Exchange at Seville, showing a man of thirty or thirty-five years, which Irving thinks may have been taken for Diego Columbus. (3) An engraving in Fuchsius’ Metoposcopia et ophthalmoscopia, Strasburg, 1610 (Sabin’s Dictionary, vii. 89). (4) An engraving in N. De Clerck’s Tooneel der beroemder hertogen, etc., Delft, 1615,—a collection of portraits, including also Cortes, Pizarro, Magellan, Montezuma, etc. (5) A full-length, engraved in Philoponus, 1621. (6) An old engraving, with pointed beard and ruff, preserved in the National Library at Paris. (7) The engraving in the Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld of Montanus, 1671-1673, repeated in Ogilby’s America, and reproduced in Bos’s Leven en Daden, and in Herrera, edition 1728. A fac-simile of it is given herewith. Cf. Ruyter’s See-Helden, Nuremberg, 1661. (8) A copper plate, showing a man with a beard, with fur trimmings to a close-fitting vestment, one hand holding an astrolabe, the other pointing upward,—which accompanies a translation of Thevet’s account of Columbus in the appendix to the Cambridge, 1676, edition of North’s Plutarch. (9) An old woodcut in the Neueröffnetes Amphitheatrum, published at Erfurt in 1723-1724 (Brinley Catalogue, no. 48). (10) A man with curly hair, mustache and imperial, ruff and armor, with a finger on a globe,—engraved in Cristóbal Cladera’s Investigaciones históricas, sobre los principales descubrimientos de los Españoles en el mar Oceano en el siglo XV. y principios del XVI., Madrid, 1794. (11) Columbus and his sons, Diego and Ferdinand, engraved in Bryan Edwards’ The History, civil and commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies, 1794; again, 1801. Feuillet de Conches in his essay on the portraits calls it a pure fantasy.
