EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of New Caledonia, dating back to the 16th century. Created by Giorgio Sideri and titled Callapoda or Calopodio da Candia, this nautical atlas offers a glimpse into the colonial era and the exploration of distant lands. The image captures an archipelago that was yet to be fully explored and understood during that time. The map's vertical orientation allows us to appreciate its intricate details, revealing both physical geography and coastal features with precision. Western script labels adorn the coastline, providing valuable insights into early European interactions with these Pacific islands. As we delve into this studio shot, devoid of people but rich in historical significance, we are transported back to an era when artistry met scientific curiosity. This illustration and painting exemplify meticulous craftsmanship as it brings forth a visual representation of New Caledonia's landscape. It is important to note that this photograph does not mention any commercial use; instead, it invites us to reflect on our past through art and craft. Furthermore, it serves as a reminder of French overseas territories' historical connections within this region. In essence, this print from Universal Images Group (UIG) encapsulates the beauty of cartography while shedding light on New Caledonia's place in history – an island waiting to be discovered centuries ago.
