A full page illuminated frontispiece panel on vellum, 185 x 225 mm, verso blank, featuring the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World, greeted by a group of natives, surrounded by a decorative border featuring native birds, fauna, and plants. General surface cracking and wear, encased in glass panels, framed. A curious though well executed panel, incorporating medievalist features. It bears similarity with the work of the Spanish Forger, and may be an unrecorded example of his work, though no attribution has been established. See illustration.
