EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century map print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a historical glimpse into the maritime world of the late Portuguese Empire. The focus of the image is on Canonor, one of the Portuguese settlements along the route to Asia. Canonor, also known as Cannanore or Kannur, is located on the Malabar Coast in present-day Kerala, India. The map, which is part of a larger document, also includes Calcutta (Calechut), Ormus (Jask), and Mina (Mombasa), providing a broader perspective of the trading routes and Portuguese presence in the Indian Ocean during the Age of Discoveries. The image showcases a view of Canonor, with a Portuguese ship anchored in the harbor and a barge underway, suggesting the bustling trade activities that took place in this strategic location. Imperialism and exploration were the driving forces behind the Portuguese expansion in the 16th century, and this map offers a visual representation of their reach and influence. The Portuguese, under the leadership of Vasco da Gama, had established a sea route from Europe to India, opening up new opportunities for trade and cultural exchange. The settlements along the way, including Canonor, served as crucial stops for restocking supplies, repairing ships, and securing alliances with local rulers. This map print is a testament to the rich history of maritime trade and the enduring impact of European imperialism on the world. Its intricate details and historical significance make it an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the exploration and discovery of new lands and cultures.
