EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map of the world, c. 1490" by Martellus Germanus and Henricus. Crafted during a time when exploration was at its zenith, this map offers us a glimpse into how our ancestors perceived the world around them. The intricate details etched onto this copper engraving reveal the immense skill and artistry of Martellus Germanus and Henricus. Every contour, coastline, and continent is meticulously depicted with precision and accuracy that astounds even modern viewers. As we gaze upon this ancient masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where vast oceans were filled with mythical creatures and uncharted territories beckoned intrepid explorers. This map serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about the unknown. It is fascinating to ponder how much has changed since this map was created over five centuries ago. The geopolitical boundaries have shifted dramatically; new lands have been discovered while others have faded into obscurity. Yet, despite these changes, one thing remains constant - our innate desire to explore beyond what is known. This print not only captures a stunning work of art but also invites us to reflect on our place in history. It reminds us that even in an ever-evolving world, there will always be mysteries waiting to be unraveled and frontiers waiting to be conquered.
