Spanish colonial furniture of the West Indies.
During the great age of discovery Christopher Columbus stopped at the island of Cuba on his first voyage to the new world in 1492 (see Pl. IV). His ship anchored on the island's northeastern coast, where he recorded in his journal in October:
The banks of the rivers are embellished with lofty palm trees, whose shade gives a delicious freshness to the air; and the birds and the flowers are uncommon and beautiful. I was so delighted with the scene that I had almost come to the resolution of staying bere for the remainder of my days; for believe me, Sire, these countries far surpass all of the world in beauty and convenience.
