EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Navigation Titlepage, 1600" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a world of exploration and scientific discovery. The image showcases a group of male figures deeply engrossed in studying and discussing navigational instruments. Intriguingly, the scene is filled with an array of tools essential for maritime navigation: hourglasses measuring time's passage, compasses guiding sailors' way, astrolabes aiding celestial observations, cross staffs used for measuring angles, and maps depicting uncharted territories. A collection of atlases and globes further emphasizes their dedication to mapping the unknown. The presence of sailing ships and boats in the background hints at these men's connection to seafaring expeditions. Their scholarly pursuits are intertwined with Poseidon himself as they seek knowledge that will enable safer voyages across vast oceans. Illuminated by a lamp casting its gentle light on this intellectual gathering, we witness the spirit of Elizabethan exploration come alive through this engraving from the 17th century English School. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our planet's mysteries. This remarkable artwork can transport us back in time while reminding us of our innate desire to explore new frontiers and expand our understanding of the world around us.
