EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient world of Ptolemy, circa 150 AD. The image showcases a color halftone reproduction of the first printed edition from 1472, allowing us to marvel at the intricate details and historical significance it holds. The map itself is a testament to human curiosity and exploration, depicting Ptolemy's understanding of the world during that era. With its vintage charm and artistic flair, this print transports us to an age where wind-powered ships sailed across vast oceans in search of new lands and adventures. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we can't help but imagine the brave sailors who relied on these maps for navigation as they embarked on perilous journeys through uncharted waters. The Atlantic Ocean stretches out before them while the Mediterranean Sea acts as a gateway between Europe, Africa, and Asia. This piece serves as a reminder of how far our knowledge has come since those early days of cartography. It symbolizes not only our thirst for discovery but also our ability to preserve history through art. Let this photograph transport you back in time and ignite your own sense of wanderlust as you explore Ptolemy's world map from 1472 – an extraordinary artifact that continues to captivate even centuries later.
