Here are the many pictures of Christopher Columbus.  At the time when he was alive, no one ever was able to draw his portrait so there are many different paintings that have different versions of what he looked like.  Clicking on a photo will take you to the website it was found on.

                                   Did he look like this?

Or this?

No, he looked like this.

It had to be this.

Did someone say "Plastic surgery?"

Martha in 5 years or Columbus?

Cute and cuddly "Chrissy"

The only conclusion about the true identity of Columbus can be summed up in a classic conversation between a young boy and his friend Mr. Owl:

"So Mr. Owl, what did Columbus look like?"

"The World may never know."
