Columbus, circa 1892, by Herman Ihlenburg
Obviously the font was created in commemoration of the New World discovery quadricentennial. The question begs why just 20 years later it was gone from the catalog. Unless ATF felt it was now dated -- too art nouveau and not "modern" enough. Or maybe sales were just soft.
Still (in its original, undistorted form), not a bad font for the genre.
