EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the intricately detailed and historically significant 1587 World Map by the renowned cartographer Gerhard Mercator. One of the most influential maps in history, Mercator's map is a testament to the advancements in cartography during the Renaissance period. Mercator, a Flemish cartographer, created this map as part of his atlas "Atlas sive Cosmographiae Universales," published in Duisburg, Germany. This map was the first to use Mercator's new projection, which became the standard for nautical charts and navigational maps for centuries. The Mercator projection, with its rectangular shape and constant scale along the meridians, allowed sailors to maintain a consistent course and navigate more accurately than ever before. The map is adorned with elaborate decorative elements, including intricate cartouches, coats of arms, and elaborate title inscriptions. The map's border features various scenes from biblical history, as well as depictions of the four continents known at the time: Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. The map's meticulous detail and innovative projection revolutionized cartography and played a crucial role in the Age of Discovery. It allowed explorers and navigators to chart new territories and expand European knowledge of the world. This historic map is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant piece of historical and scientific importance. The Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this high-resolution image of Gerhard Mercator's 1587 World Map for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in the history of cartography, exploration, or the world as it was known during the Renaissance period.
