EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate detail of a Geographic atlas from 1661, specifically focusing on the portulan of Francois Ollive representing the Irish Sea with a fish. The map is housed in the Municipal Library of Marseille and showcases the artistry and precision of cartography during the 17th century.
The inclusion of a fantastical creature, possibly a mythical beast or monster, adds an element of intrigue to this historical piece. The fish depicted in the map serves as both a decorative motif and a symbol of life within the vast expanse of water that is the Irish Sea.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The attention to detail in mapping out geographical features highlights not only Ollive's skill as a cartographer but also his imagination in incorporating elements of fantasy into his work.
Overall, this print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of early modern maps. It is a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity, reminding us of our endless quest for knowledge about the world around us.
