EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a 17th-century map of Europe. The intricate details and artistic flair captured in this illustration transport us back to an era when cartography was still in its infancy. Created by Gerardus Mercator and Jodocus Hondius in 1606, this ancient map offers a unique perspective on the European continent. Its distortion adds an intriguing element, reminding us that accuracy was not always the primary focus during those times. Despite its inaccuracies, this map serves as a testament to the evolving field of geography and the early attempts at mapping our world. The Latin inscription "Nova Europae Descriptio Auctore" further emphasizes the historical significance of this artwork. It invites us to explore Europe through the eyes of these talented Dutch cartographers who meticulously crafted every detail with their expert knowledge. As we gaze upon this incomplete representation, we are reminded that science has come a long way since then. Earth sciences and modern cartography have revolutionized our understanding of geography, making maps more accurate than ever before. Science Photo Library's print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and imperfections within historical maps like these. It is a visual reminder of how far we've come while also honoring the pioneers who laid down foundations for future generations' exploration and discovery.
