EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in exploration. The image showcases a cartouche depicting French naturalist and explorer, Charles Marie de La Condamine, on a raft navigating the treacherous waters of the Amazon River. This particular scene is taken from the map titled "Carte du detroit appele Pongo de Manseriche dans le Maragnon ou la riviere des Amazones" which was published as part of La Condamine's work in 1749. La Condamine's expedition through Meridional America is described as an incredible journey that took him from the South Sea coast to Brazil and Guyana coast along the Amazon River. In this specific illustration, he can be seen bravely venturing through the gorges of the mighty river on his makeshift raft. The engraving beautifully captures both the danger and excitement of exploration during this time period. It serves as a testament to La Condamine's determination to uncover new territories and expand our understanding of these uncharted lands. This print not only commemorates La Condamine's remarkable voyage but also pays homage to all explorers who have ventured into unknown territories throughout history. It reminds us of their courage, resilience, and unwavering pursuit for knowledge about our world.
