The Division of the World
Postscript summary
The Archivo General de Indias in Seville houses millions of documents from Spanish colonial history, including Columbus’ logbook and the 1494 treaty that divided newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal. In 2001 one of Germany’s most renowned photographers created the images reproduced here, which show the files on their antique shelves. The accompanying text offers a historian’s perspective on the stories of discovery, power and exploitation behind the archive’s creation.
