EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1705, when cartographer Jeremiah Seller created a remarkable "Chart of the Western (now Atlantic) Ocean with rhumb lines". The hand-colored print showcases intricate details that highlight the artistry and precision of Seller's work. Measuring at 42x53 cm, this historical piece is housed in the prestigious New York Public Library, USA. It offers a glimpse into an era where navigation and exploration were paramount. The map not only serves as a guide for sailors but also reveals fascinating insights into trade routes, coastlines, and hydrography. Seller's chart encompasses vast areas including America, Africa, and Europe, emphasizing their interconnectedness through maritime trade. Rhumb lines elegantly crisscross the ocean surface like delicate threads connecting distant lands. The presence of animales and American Indians within the intricately designed cartouche adds depth to this masterpiece. It reminds us of the diverse cultures encountered during early explorations. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork from centuries past, we are transported to an age when brave seafarers embarked on perilous journeys across uncharted waters in search of new horizons. This print captures both the beauty of cartography as well as its vital role in shaping our understanding of geography and history.
