The boarding of the animals (The Calicut Voyage Tapestry) - Jean Grenier

Description

Vasco de Gama landed in Calicut on May 21, 1498. He left here three months later, loading the four ships of the expedition with all kinds of animals, including a unicorn... The Zamorin of Calicut gave him a letter for the King of Portugal.

Historically, this first expedition was a failure, and the Zamorin refused to grant the Portuguese the commercial advantages they had requested.
