EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning "Map of Africa, Arabia and India" from the late 17th century. Created by French cartographer Alexis-Hubert Jaillot, this hand-coloured engraving is a true masterpiece of its time. Measuring an impressive 63x102 cm, it offers a detailed and intricate representation of these regions. The map is part of the larger work titled "A New Atlas showing all of the world. . " by Sr. Sanson, published in Paris between 1695 and 1702. With its double-page format and exquisite hand colouring, this piece exemplifies the artistry and precision that went into creating navigational tools during this era. The map features French text alongside beautifully engraved illustrations depicting geographic elements such as mountains, rivers, cities, and coastlines. The careful attention to detail extends to every aspect of this artwork - from the delicate lettering to the vibrant hand tinting. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured in vivid detail by Bridgeman Images' photography expertise, we are transported back in time to an age when cartography was both a scientific pursuit and an artistic endeavor.
