In 1995 one of Royal Doulton's best modelers, Alan Maslankowski, was given the task of creating a sculpture of this great explorer to honor the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the new world. For more than five centuries, Columbus has been considered one of the greatest mariners in history as well as a visionary genius and national hero. Limited to 1,492 pieces, this figure would be a prized possession in any collection. - Men of History Artist: Alan Maslankowski
