EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of India and Indian Ocean by Pedro and Jorge Reinel, Lopo Homen (cartographers) and Antonio de Holanda (miniaturist). Taken from the Miller Atlas in 1519, this full-length studio shot transports us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a world of exploration and discovery. The map itself is a true work of art, meticulously crafted with intricate details. A sailing boat gracefully glides across the Indian Ocean while a majestic tree stands tall on land. The compass rose adds an element of navigational precision to this stunning illustration. What makes this image even more fascinating is its portrayal of traditional culture and wildlife. Human representations are absent, allowing us to focus solely on nature's beauty. Western script adorns the map, reminding us of the historical context within which it was created. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we can't help but marvel at how far our understanding of physical geography has come since then. This photograph serves as a reminder that maps were once hand-drawn works requiring immense skill and expertise. Preserved through time, this print allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into our past explorations. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our unending quest for knowledge about distant lands and oceans beyond our own shores.
