EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century - a map of the port of Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo, drawn by Figueroa in 1519. The intricate details and precision displayed in this drawing offer us a glimpse into the past, revealing the topography and layout of these historical islands. As we immerse ourselves in this image, we are transported back to an era when navigational equipment was rudimentary at best. This map served as an invaluable tool for sailors and explorers seeking guidance through treacherous waters, providing them with essential information about harbors, coastlines, and human settlements. The aerial view captured here allows us to appreciate the natural beauty of these Caribbean destinations. The lush landscapes blend harmoniously with the azure sea surrounding them, creating a picturesque scene that is both inviting and awe-inspiring. In this non-urban setting devoid of people, we can almost hear echoes from history reverberating through time. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage embedded within these lands - Puerto Rico's vibrant mix of indigenous Taíno traditions with Spanish influences, alongside Santo Domingo's role as one of the oldest European settlements in the Americas. This artful illustration transports us on a journey back to 1519 when exploration was at its zenith. It serves as a testament to humanity's ceaseless curiosity about our world and our relentless pursuit to chart new territories.
