EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The World in the Elizabethan Era, 1926" takes us back to a time of exploration and discovery. Created by unknown artists and Emery Walker Ltd, this map showcases the world during Queen Elizabeth I's reign from 1558 to 1603. The intricate details on this map provide a glimpse into the historical context of that era. The key highlights various elements such as medieval trade routes, emphasizing the oriental shipping in Asiatic seas. It also marks Portuguese and Spanish settlements, showcasing their colonial influence across different regions. One notable feature is the dotted line stretching from Greenland down through eastern Brazil, representing the Pope's division of the globe between Spain and Portugal in 1494. This division played a significant role in shaping future explorations and colonization efforts. Additionally, this map includes markings indicating famous voyages undertaken by renowned explorers like Francis Drake, Vasco da Gama, and Christopher Columbus. These brave individuals expanded horizons and paved new paths for future generations. It is important to note that during this period many parts of the world remained unknown or unexplored territory - represented here as terra incognita or "the unknown". This serves as a reminder of how limited knowledge was at that time compared to our modern understanding. Overall, this print offers an intriguing insight into both cartography and history during one of England's most iconic eras - an era characterized by exploration, imperial ambitions, cultural exchange, and global transformation.
