Sebastian Cabot.
Although no evidence exists, it is thought that Sebastian may have travelled with his father, John Cabot, on his 1497 voyage. This image of Sebastian as an old man is a copy of the engraving found in Samuel Seyer's Memoirs illustrative of the history and antiquities of Bristol (1823). Seyer's engraving was based on an original contemporary portrait which was destroyed in Pittsburgh in 1845. The Latin inscription on the Seyer engraving reads: 'Portrait of Sebastian Cabot, Englishman, son of John Cabot, knight of Venice, first discoverer of Newfoundland under Henry VII, King of England.' It is now located in the Bristol City Art Gallery. This image of Sebastian Cabot was mistakenly identified as that of his father John on a 1897 Newfoundland stamp.
