EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic "Map of Benzoni" from 1541, dating back to the 16th century. The map was created by Girolano Benzoni, an Italian traveler who spent ten months in Havana during that time. His profound experiences in Cuba led him to publish "A History of the New World" in Venice in 1565, where he predicted Spain's eventual failure in colonizing America. The monochrome image beautifully captures the intricate details of this cartographic masterpiece. With its delicate handwriting and precise cartography, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. This particular print is part of a cigar card collection from "The History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigar Company. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to a different era – both visually and intellectually. It serves as a reminder of Cuba's rich history and its significance within colonialism during the sixteenth century. The map also highlights North and Central America's connection with Havana as an important location on this journey through time. Preserved through generations, this rare artifact now resides with The Print Collector29, serving as a testament to our fascination with exploration and discovery. Its presence evokes curiosity about how maps like these shaped our understanding of geography centuries ago while offering insights into historical events that continue to shape our world today.
