EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, a groundbreaking atlas created by Abraham Ortelius in 1570. Considered to be the first modern atlas, this map showcases intricate details of Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador based on reports from Hernando de Soto's expedition.
Printed in Antwerp by Christophe Plantin in 1588, this etching is a testament to the advancements made in cartography during the 16th century. The detailed depiction of South America includes the Amazon rainforest, Panama, and the Pacific Ocean, providing viewers with a glimpse into the geographical knowledge of that time.
The image also features a galley sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, symbolizing the importance of maritime transport in exploring new territories. This historical artifact is housed at Salamanca University Library in Spain as part of its valuable collection.
