EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "North and South Poles, 1593" takes us back to the late sixteenth century when exploration and cartography were at their peak. Created by Flemish artists Gerard de Jode (1509-91) and Cornelis de Jode, this print is a remarkable piece of navigational equipment that offers a glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the time. The image showcases a close-up view of a double-page spread from the book "Speculum orbis terrae". The circular shape of the globe stands out as it represents both the North and South Poles. Hand-tinted with meticulous detail, this artwork transports us to an era where maps were not only functional but also works of art. The absence of people in this print allows us to focus on its intricate details. Every leaf on this map has been carefully engraved, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship of these European artists. The vibrant colours add depth and life to the scene, making it even more visually appealing. As we admire this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of how far our understanding of geography has come since then. This print serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit for knowledge about our planet's most remote regions. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this fascinating piece today. It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and continues to inspire generations with its beauty and historical significance.
