EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a testament to the groundbreaking work of Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), considered the father of modern cartography. The image showcases a section from his seminal work, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," published in 1570, which is widely regarded as the world's first modern atlas. This particular map focuses on the Caribbean Sea, highlighting several major islands, including Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Hispaniola (home to the Dominican Republic and Haiti), Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. The map, created around 1588, is an intricately detailed etching that showcases the geographical knowledge of the time. The Spanish influence is evident in the naming conventions, with the island of La Española, for instance, named after the Spanish explorer, Juan Ponce de León. The map's historical significance is further underscored by its current location at the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain, an autonomous community. This enchanting piece of cartographic history offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical understanding of the Caribbean region during the late 16th century.
