EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Septentrionalium terrarum descriptio" a remarkable map of the Arctic created by Gerardus Mercator in 1595. The engraving, now part of a private collection, is considered to be the first separate map solely dedicated to depicting the Arctic region. Mercator's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this masterpiece as he expertly captures various geographical features and landmarks. From the North Pole to Asia, Russia, Faroe Islands, America, Iceland, and Greenland, every element on this map has been intricately engraved. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into how early cartographers perceived and understood these remote regions during an era when exploration was limited. This map serves as a testament to Mercator's pioneering spirit and his contribution towards expanding our knowledge of uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time – imagining intrepid explorers navigating treacherous waters or indigenous communities thriving amidst icy landscapes. It reminds us of humanity's enduring curiosity about distant lands and our relentless pursuit of discovery. This print not only celebrates Mercator's artistic brilliance but also invites us to appreciate the rich history behind cartography and its role in shaping our understanding of the world.
