This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the world map from an 11th century Leipzig manuscript. Created by an unknown artist during the Middle Ages, this ancient planisphere offers a glimpse into the knowledge and geographical understanding of that time. The intricately detailed map depicts various continents, oceans, and landmasses as they were perceived over 900 years ago. It serves as a testament to the curiosity and exploration that defined this era. The medium used for this masterpiece remains undisclosed but is believed to be ink on parchment. Preserved in a private collection, this rare artifact provides valuable insights into medieval cartography and how people envisioned the world centuries ago. Leonard de Selva's expert photography captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time - marveling at how our ancestors navigated uncharted territories without modern technology or satellite imagery. This photograph not only celebrates human ingenuity but also reminds us of our ever-evolving understanding of our planet. Leonard de Selva has skillfully immortalized this extraordinary piece through his lens while respecting copyright laws. By sharing it with us, he invites us to explore and appreciate the wonders of our past while igniting curiosity about what lies ahead in our future journeys across Earth's vast landscapes.
