EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the map of Portovenere and the Gulf of La Spezia. Created by Henry Michelot and Laurens Bremond in 1709, this copper engraving is part of the renowned Portolan Charts collection, which meticulously mapped the Mediterranean Sea. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this 18th-century antique engraving are truly awe-inspiring. The horizontal format allows us to fully appreciate the beauty and complexity of this historical masterpiece. With its precise lines and delicate shading, it transports us back in time to an era when maps were not just navigational tools but works of art. Portovenere, a picturesque Italian village nestled on the Ligurian coast, takes center stage in this map. Its charming streets wind their way through colorful buildings that overlook crystal-clear waters. The Gulf of La Spezia stretches out before us, inviting exploration with its hidden coves and enchanting islands. As we gaze upon this illustration and painting devoid of people, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since 1709 while also appreciating how some things remain timeless. This image serves as a testament to human curiosity and our eternal quest for knowledge about our surroundings.
