EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed map titled "Virginiae item et Floridae Americae provinciarum, nova descriptio" by Jodocus Hondius. Created in 1636, this color engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the early exploration of North America. The map depicts the Spanish colony of St. Augustine to Chesapeake Bay, highlighting the geographical features and colonial settlements along the coastline. It is adorned with decorative elements such as sea monsters, compasses, and rulers that add an ornate touch to its overall design. As we delve into this historical artwork, we can observe various aspects of discovery and transportation during that era. Canoes and boats gracefully glide across rivers and lakes while a majestic ship dominates the seas. The presence of native Americans signifies their connection to these lands long before European colonization took place. With its meticulous attention to detail, this map serves as both a cartographic representation and a work of art. It reflects not only the Dutch influence but also Gerard Mercator's original atlas from which it was derived. Preserved by the New York Public Library, this print allows us to appreciate Hondius' craftsmanship while offering insights into early American history. Whether you are fascinated by cartography or simply intrigued by our ancestors' explorations, this image transports you back in time to an era filled with curiosity and adventure.
