EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Amerigo Vespucci Discovering the Southern Cross with an Astrolabe" takes us back to the 17th century. Created in 1600 by Jan van der Straet and Joannes Stradanus as part of their renowned Nova Reperta series, this historical illustration showcases the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci during his voyage of discovery. Intriguingly, Vespucci is depicted using an astrolabe, a sophisticated navigational instrument widely used at that time. As he gazes up at the night sky, his eyes are filled with wonder as he becomes one of the first Europeans to lay eyes on the magnificent constellation known as the Southern Cross. This print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when explorers like Vespucci were pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of the world.

As we admire this piece today, we can't help but be reminded of how far we have come since those early days of exploration.
