The statue in Central Park was photographed by the same photographer that day Click for a larger image
.
The statue, dedicated to the explorer Columbus, mistaken for the explorer of America, was erected in Central Park in 1892 and was created by Jeronimo Sunol. The statue was erected on the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ first voyage in 1492, a voyage in which he "discovered" America.
In the statue you can see Columbus holding a Spanish flag with a cross on his head, and next to it a globe resting on a cable-entwined capstan
The statue is very similar to the statue of the same Sculptor located in Madrid and built in 1886.
