This print showcases Fol. 56v Map of Florida, Canada and Labrador from the renowned Cosmographie Universelle by Guillaume Le Testu. Created in 1555, this watercolor on paper masterpiece offers a glimpse into the intricate cartography of that era. The map encompasses an extensive area, stretching from the east coast of North America to the Atlantic Ocean. It beautifully depicts the diverse landscapes and coastlines of both American and Canadian territories, capturing their natural beauty with remarkable precision. As one explores this historic artwork, they will notice various elements that add depth and intrigue to its composition. A compass rose elegantly marks cardinal directions while adding a touch of artistic flair. The inclusion of animals throughout the map adds a sense of liveliness and highlights the region's rich biodiversity. This visually stunning piece not only serves as an invaluable historical artifact but also reflects Le Testu's exceptional skill in blending artistry with scientific accuracy. Its meticulous details offer viewers a window into how early explorers perceived these lands centuries ago. Preserved by France's Min. Defense - Service Historique de l Armee de Terre, this image is now available for public viewing thanks to Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanimages. com.
