EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of northern Africa, 1570" engraved by Abraham Ortelius. The intricate details and artistry of this map are truly awe-inspiring. Ortelius, a renowned Flemish cartographer from the 16th century, created this masterpiece as part of his famous work "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". This particular map focuses on the geographical landscape of northern Africa, including regions such as Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Sudan. The precision with which Ortelius depicted each country and its borders is astonishing. From the rugged Atlas Mountains to the vast Sahara Desert stretching across multiple nations, every element is meticulously portrayed. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact now housed in Museo Navale di Pegli in Genoa, Italy, we can't help but marvel at how it offers us a glimpse into the past. It provides valuable insights into African geography during that era and serves as a testament to Ortelius' skillful craftsmanship. This print by Luisa Ricciarini allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty captured within this engraving. It reminds us that maps have always been more than just navigational tools; they are windows into different cultures and civilizations throughout time.
