EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning antique print, titled "Parallels of Latitude," offers a captivating glimpse into the scientific understanding of the Earth and its celestial neighbors during the late 17th century. Dated circa 1690, this natural phenomenon illustration was produced during a time when exploration and discovery were driving the scientific community to expand their knowledge of the world and the universe. The print, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, showcases the Earth with its parallels of latitude, including the Equator. The Equator, depicted as a bold, horizontal line, divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The print also illustrates the planets in their known orbits around the Sun, with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn clearly visible. The intricate detail and accuracy of the print are a testament to the advanced astronomical knowledge of the time. The Earth is depicted as an oblate spheroid, with the continents and oceans depicted relatively accurately, considering the limitations of the technology and data available during the late 1600s. This print serves as a fascinating reminder of the human curiosity and ingenuity that has driven us to explore and understand the natural world around us. It is a visual representation of the scientific progress made during this era and a reminder of the foundational knowledge that continues to shape our understanding of the universe today.
