EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical map titled "View of the western coast of Mexico, and southern California - Map, 1571" by Fernao Vaz Dourado. The image takes us back to the year 1571 when this hydrographic atlas was created in Lisbon, Portugal. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical landscape of Mexico and Southern California during that era. It portrays intricate details of coastlines, rivers, mountains, and other significant features with exceptional precision. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to the vast stretches of land depicted on it. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the delicate pink winds gracefully adorning the map's corners and borders. These elegant embellishments add an artistic touch to an otherwise purely functional piece. Notably, a prominent blazon stands proudly at its center, representing both Mexican and American heritage intertwined through history. This coat of arms symbolizes strength, unity, and cultural richness. This extraordinary atlas book has stood the test of time as it now finds its place within the archives at Torre do Tombo National Archive in Lisbon. Preserved for centuries, it continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this magnificent artwork through her lens in this photo print. Her dedication ensures that future generations can appreciate not only Dourado's masterpiece but also her own talent as she brings these ancient maps back to life for all to admire.
