EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "World map by Martin Behaim" from 1492. Crafted as a wood engraving, this particular version was published in 1884 and is now preserved in my personal archive. The intricate details of this antique piece transport us back to the Middle Ages, offering a glimpse into the world of cartography during that era. The woodcut engraving reflects an oriental style with its delicate lines and precise etching, highlighting Behaim's skillful craftsmanship. Originating from Nuremberg, Germany, this world map represents not only a significant historical artifact but also embodies German culture and artistic heritage. Displayed horizontally within a circular frame, this ancient globe takes us on a journey through time. Its portrayal of various continents and oceans provides insight into how people perceived the world centuries ago. As we explore every inch of this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes evident that it served as both navigational equipment and an invaluable tool for understanding our planet during medieval times. This photograph captures the essence of history itself - transporting us to another era where exploration was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of our past while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond our known horizons.
