EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medieval artwork titled "Ms Fr 2810 f. 13v, Marco Polo on his travels" by the Boucicaut Master and his workshop. Created around 1410-12, this tempera on vellum masterpiece measures 42x29.8 cm and is currently housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The artwork is part of the Livre des Merveilles du Monde (Book of Wonders of the World), which chronicles various journeys to the Orient, including those undertaken by renowned explorers such as Marco Polo himself. This collection also includes accounts from Odorico de Pordone, Guillaume de Boldensele, Hayton the Armenian monk, Ricaldo da Monte di Croce, and even Sir John de Mandeville—a fictional knight.

It serves as a testament to Marco Polo's enduring legacy as an Italian traveler who played a pivotal role in bridging cultures during the 13th century. As we admire this exquisite representation of travelogues past, we are reminded of how human curiosity knows no bounds—propelling us to venture beyond familiar horizons in search of knowledge and connection with distant lands.
