EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a 16th century marine compass, a navigational instrument that was crucial for sailors during the Age of Exploration. Made from ivory and copper, this hand-painted parchment compass is divided into 32 points, allowing for precise navigation on the open seas.
The intricate details of this compass are truly remarkable - each point carefully marked to ensure accuracy in determining direction. The North point, representing the magnetic pole, and the East point, symbolizing the Holy Land, are adorned with additional decorations that add to the beauty and complexity of this historical artifact.
In an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak, tools like this marine compass were essential for sailors venturing into uncharted waters. The navy and maritime forces relied on instruments like these to guide their ships safely across vast oceans.
As we admire this piece of history preserved by the National Maritime Museum in London, we are reminded of the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors who paved the way for modern navigation techniques. This marine compass serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to explore beyond known horizons.
