Sebastian Cabot (c.1474-1557),Italian explorer. Cabot sailed with his brother on the voyage to America made by their father John Cabot in 1497. This was the first contact by Europeans with the North American mainland since the Vikings,though the Cabots believed that they had found Asia. Sebastian made another voyage to North America in 1508,and in the service of Spain he explored the coast of Brazil (1525). The Latin text refers to him,his father,and King Henry VII of England. This engraving,after a portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger (c.1497-1543),is from 'The remarkable life,adventures and discoveries of Sebastian Cabot of Bristol' (1869) | |
