EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical depiction of Havana, inspired by William Blaeus Atlas from 1630. The image takes us back in time to the vibrant harbor of Cuba's capital city, offering a glimpse into its rich maritime history. In this engraving, we witness an array of boats and caravels gracefully navigating the waters, symbolizing the bustling transport network that once connected Havana to the world. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Giancarlo Costa, who skillfully captures the essence of Havana's past through his lens. The attention to detail is evident as every line and curve tells a story about Central America's significant role in global trade during the 17th century. As we explore this evocative print further, it becomes clear that Costa has paid homage not only to Blaeu's original work but also to Cuban culture itself. The fusion of American influences with traditional Cuban elements creates a harmonious composition that celebrates both heritage and progress. This print serves as a window into history, reminding us of Havana's enduring charm and its pivotal place in shaping our interconnected world. It invites viewers to reflect on how transportation has evolved over centuries while highlighting the timeless beauty found within these ancient streets.
