EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to the early 1500s when cartography was still in its infancy. Titled "EXPL2A-00065, " it showcases a world map of the flat earth, printed by Beatus Rhenanus Bildaus Rheinau. The unique aspect of this map is that North is depicted on the left side, contrary to our modern conventions. The Mediterranean Sea occupies the central position, serving as a pivotal point for navigation and trade routes during that era. The lithograph reproduction from the 19th century beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of the original artwork. As we explore this historic illustration, we can't help but notice various elements that reflect both adventure and maritime culture. Fish swim gracefully through oceans while ships sail across vast waters, symbolizing exploration and discovery. The chart encompasses Africa, Asia, Europe, and even Libya (Libia), providing a glimpse into how these regions were perceived at that time. It offers an intriguing insight into early cartography techniques and highlights how knowledge about our planet has evolved over centuries. This artful depiction serves as a reminder of humanity's curiosity about the world around us throughout history. Whether used for educational purposes or simply admired for its aesthetic appeal, this print invites us to embark on a journey through time where imagination meets reality.
