EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fol. 40v Map of the Magellan Straits, a remarkable piece from Cosmographie Universelle in 1555. Created by the talented Guillaume Le Testu (c. 1509-73), this watercolor on paper artwork is now housed at the Min. Defense - Service Historique de l Armee de Terre in France. The map depicts the awe-inspiring Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia regions, along with the famous Magellan Straits. It offers a glimpse into the exploration of these uncharted territories during that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he includes various elements such as an ocean teeming with life, exotic animals and birds, a compass indicating direction, native inhabitants engaged in hunting activities, and ships navigating through treacherous waters. Le Testu's portrayal captures both the savage beauty and wildness of this untamed land while providing valuable geographical information for navigators of his time. This historical artifact not only serves as an important cartographic reference but also reflects Europe's fascination with discovering new lands during the Age of Exploration. As we admire this print today, it reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity to explore unknown realms and our constant quest for knowledge about our planet's diverse landscapes. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate Le Testu's masterpiece without any copyright restrictions or commercial limitations attached to it.
