EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th-17th centuries, depicting the Map of Santo Domingo on Hispaniola Island in the Dominican Republic. The image transports us back in time to an era where art and craft merged with navigational expertise to create stunning maps like this one. The map itself is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Santo Domingo. It beautifully captures the town's architectural landscape, with its old-fashioned buildings perched atop hills overlooking the sea. A sailing ship gracefully glides across the horizon, symbolizing both transportation and exploration during that period. Every detail has been meticulously illustrated, from topographical features such as cliffs and coastlines to navigational equipment represented by Western script text. This comprehensive map served as a vital tool for guidance and travel in those times when technology was limited. As we gaze at this elevated view, it becomes evident that human settlement played a crucial role in shaping Santo Domingo's past. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on appreciating the intricate details of this historical artifact. Through this photo print, Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us to immerse ourselves in history while marveling at how far we have come since then. It serves as a reminder of our connection with the past and offers insight into how landscapes have evolved over time.
