Monument van Isabella I van Castilië met Columbus in Granada, met op de achtergrond de Sierra Nevada before 1898

This photograph, taken before 1898 by Rafael Garzón, captures the Monument of Columbus in Granada, Spain. The monument, featuring a statue of Christopher Columbus, stands proudly in the foreground, surrounded by a wrought iron fence and trees. The distant Sierra Nevada mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the scene. The photo's composition, focusing on the monument and its surroundings, exemplifies the photographic style of the late 19th century, which often emphasized historical and cultural landmarks.
