EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable map of the Pacific Ocean from 1588. The map, created by Christophe Plantin and featured in Abraham Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, depicts the vast expanse between the American continent and Japan. However, what truly sets this map apart is the presence of a majestic whale gracefully swimming through these waters. The inclusion of this magnificent creature adds an element of wonder and awe to the artwork. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and power that resides within our oceans. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak, with brave fishermen venturing out into unknown territories in search of bountiful catches. The whale symbolizes not only the abundance found within these waters but also highlights humanity's relationship with marine life. It represents both hunting practices and fishing traditions that have been passed down through generations. Through this photo print, we are invited to reflect on our connection with nature and recognize how it has shaped our history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people were captivated by the allure of exploring new lands and encountering extraordinary creatures like whales. In essence, this image encapsulates not just a geographical representation but also tells a story about human curiosity, adventure-seeking spirits, and our enduring fascination with wildlife.
