EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of a geography map from the 17th century showcases the North of South America, including the New Kingdom of Granada. Created by Willem Janszoon Blaeu around 1630, this intricate atlas piece provides a glimpse into the geographical knowledge and cartographic skills of that era.
The detailed representation includes present-day Colombia, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Panama, offering a historical perspective on how these regions were perceived centuries ago. The accuracy and artistry of this map reflect the dedication and expertise of Blaeu in capturing the complexities of the landmasses and borders.
Displayed in Biblioteca Angelica in Rome, this print serves as a valuable artifact for studying early cartography and understanding the evolution of geographic knowledge. It is a testament to human curiosity and exploration during a time when maps were essential tools for navigation and discovery.
As we admire this vintage map, we are transported back in time to an era where explorers ventured into unknown territories with nothing but compasses and astrolabes. The blend of artistry and science in this engraving highlights the importance of geography in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
