EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of the 'NEW WORLD MAP, 1616' by John Speed. Transporting us to an era of exploration and discovery, this English map of the western hemisphere offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of cartography. Published during the Renaissance period, this intricate map showcases both familiar and fantastical elements. California takes center stage as a colossal island, challenging our modern understanding of geography. Alongside it, we witness indigenous peoples adorned in elaborate costumes, providing a vivid depiction of their cultures as perceived by European explorers. The 'NEW WORLD MAP, 1616' is not just a mere representation; it encapsulates an entire epoch—the Age of Discovery—when intrepid adventurers set sail across vast oceans in search of new lands and riches. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and ambition. As we study this historic artifact, we are reminded that maps are not merely tools for navigation but windows into different times and perspectives. They reflect the knowledge available at specific moments in history while also revealing biases and misconceptions held by those who created them. This Granger Collection print invites us to delve into the past—a visual portal connecting us with centuries-old voyages that forever changed our perception of the world.
