EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating "CARIBBEAN MAP, c1688" is a remarkable woodcut print that showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Caribbean islands during the late 17th century. Created by French cartographers, this map offers a glimpse into the maritime world of that era. With its detailed depiction of coastlines, islands, and surrounding waters, this map serves as an invaluable historical document. It highlights notable locations such as Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and many more. The Leeward Antilles and Netherlands Antilles are also featured prominently. The woodcut technique used in creating this piece adds to its charm and authenticity. Each line and curve has been meticulously carved to bring out the rich textures of landmasses and sea waves alike. The typeface employed reflects the artistic sensibilities prevalent at that time. This print transports viewers back to an era when sailing ships dominated these turquoise waters while exploring new territories in South America. The horizon stretches endlessly before us as we imagine adventurers embarking on daring voyages across uncharted seas. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from their extensive collection dating back centuries ago in New York City (NYC), this "CARIBBEAN MAP" not only celebrates history but also invites us to appreciate the natural beauty of these enchanting islands forever etched in time.
