EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, dated 1679, offers a glimpse into Europe's rich historical past, showcasing the known explorations of the ancient Phoenicians and the mythical and exotic fauna that inhabited their imaginations. The map, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, intricately illustrates the progress of Phoenician voyages around Europe, with notable landmarks such as Italy, Britain, Spain, and Crete, marked with precision. The Phoenicians, an ancient civilization primarily located in the Mediterranean, were renowned for their seafaring abilities and extensive trading networks. This map serves as a testament to their remarkable explorations, highlighting the extent of their reach and the connections they forged between Europe and Africa. However, the map is not just a record of historical facts. It also features a vibrant array of mythical and exotic fauna, including the elusive unicorn and the camelopard, a mythical creature with the body of a camel and the spots of a leopard. These creatures were often depicted in Phoenician art and literature, reflecting their fascination with the unknown and the fantastical. The inclusion of these mythical beasts adds an element of intrigue and wonder to the map, transporting us back in time to an era when the lines between reality and mythology were blurred. The ships depicted in the map, with their sails billowing in the wind, further emphasize the adventurous spirit of the Phoenicians and their explorations. This map is a fascinating reminder of Europe's complex and interconnected history, and the enduring allure of the unknown and the exotic. It invites us to explore the stories and mysteries of the past, and to marvel at the wonders of the natural and mythical worlds.
