EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Ptolemy World map from 1467, a true masterpiece of cartography. Housed in the prestigious collection of Biblioteka Narodowa in Warszawa, this ancient artifact takes us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this woodcut and watercolor creation are truly awe-inspiring. Created by Claudius Ptolemy, a renowned Greek mathematician, astronomer, and geographer, this world map offers a glimpse into how people perceived the Earth during the 15th century. It is an invaluable historical document that reflects not only geographical knowledge but also cultural beliefs prevalent at that time. The fine art images captured within this print transport us to an era where maps were more than just navigational tools; they were works of art. Germanus' cosmographia influenced many subsequent generations with its accuracy and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but marvel at how far humanity has come in terms of understanding our planet's vastness. This photograph serves as a reminder of our collective curiosity and thirst for knowledge throughout history.
