EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a section of the Lenox Globe, which is believed to be the second or third oldest known terrestrial globe in existence. Created between 1503 and 1510, this remarkable artifact provides us with a glimpse into the early understanding of our world. The focal point of this image is a plane projection of the New World, labeled as Terra Sancta Crucis. This term refers to the Holy Land of the Cross and reflects the religious significance attributed to these newly discovered lands during that time period. The intricate details on this facsimile drawing, created around 1890, allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in producing such an important historical object. The map depicts various rivers snaking through vast stretches of land, while ships sail across oceans connecting distant regions. As we observe this print closely, we are reminded of how far our knowledge has expanded since those early exploratory voyages. The Lenox Globe serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination in uncovering new frontiers. It is fascinating to consider how much has changed since this globe was first crafted - from uncharted territories becoming familiar nations like America and Caribbean islands gaining their own identities within global history. This image invites us to reflect on both our past accomplishments and future possibilities as we continue exploring and mapping out our ever-evolving world.
