EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Navigation, 1520 by Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus) transports us back in time to the early 16th century when the art of navigation was a crucial skill for sailors and explorers. The intricate engraving depicts a scene of maritime exploration, with a sailor using a sextant to navigate the vast sea under a starry sky. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable, from the carefully crafted ship sailing through choppy waters to the precise positioning of stars in the night sky. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness required for successful navigation during this era. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of knowledge and technology in guiding us through uncharted territories. The sextant, an essential tool for celestial navigation, symbolizes human curiosity and determination to explore beyond our known horizons. Through this photo print, we are invited to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of marine navigation in centuries past. It serves as a tribute to those brave souls who ventured into unknown waters in search of new lands and discoveries.
