EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the EXPL2A-00352, also known as The Hereford Mappa Mundi of 1280. A true testament to medieval cartography, this vintage reproduction offers a glimpse into the world as it was perceived in the 13th century. At its heart lies Jerusalem, symbolizing its significance during that era. Europe is depicted in the lower left corner, while Africa graces the lower right side of this historic map. Printed with vibrant colors and halftone techniques in the 19th century, this illustration transports us back to a time when navigation relied on such intricate documents. The detailed representation of continents and oceans serves as a reminder of how early civilizations understood their place within the vastness of our planet. The Hereford Mappa Mundi not only provides geographical information but also reflects cultural beliefs prevalent during the Middle Ages. It captures an Earth where Asia stretches eastward towards unknown lands and where mythical creatures roam unexplored territories. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our world's history and geography.
