EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of Peru, 1597". Engraved by Cornelius Wytfliet for his renowned work, Descriptionis Ptolemaicae Augmentum, this map is a testament to the age of exploration and discovery. The intricate details on this engraving transport us back to the late 16th century when European powers were fervently exploring new territories. The Map of Peru highlights the vastness and richness of this Latin American country, which was then a Spanish colony. It provides an invaluable glimpse into how Europeans perceived and understood the New World during that era. As we study this map, our eyes are drawn to the Pacific Ocean bordering Peru's western coast. This strategic location played a crucial role in shaping Peruvian history and its interactions with other nations across time. The rivers depicted on the map symbolize not only geographical features but also pathways for trade, colonization, and cultural exchange. They remind us of how these waterways served as lifelines connecting civilizations throughout centuries. Cornelius Wytfliet's masterpiece serves as both an artistic marvel and an important historical artifact. It captures a pivotal moment in human exploration when boundaries were pushed further than ever before.
