EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Americas, 1592" a hand-coloured engraving by the renowned Flemish artist Abraham Ortelius. The intricate details and vibrant hues bring to life this historic cartographic masterpiece, which was published in Antwerp during the late sixteenth century. Ortelius' work is celebrated for its accuracy and artistic flair, as demonstrated in this close-up view of the continent. Navigational equipment adorns the map, emphasizing its practical purpose during that era of exploration and discovery. The Latin text accompanying the map adds an air of authenticity and scholarly significance. With no people depicted in the image, viewers are invited to immerse themselves in a bygone era when North America was still being explored and settled. This hand-coloured engraving provides a glimpse into how early European cartographers envisioned these vast lands across the Atlantic Ocean. "The Americas, 1592" stands as a testament to Ortelius' skill as both an artist and geographer. Its historical value lies not only in its accurate representation but also in capturing a moment frozen in time—a snapshot of how Europeans perceived America during the late 16th century. This print from Bridgeman Images offers art enthusiasts and history buffs alike an opportunity to appreciate Ortelius' contribution to cartography while marveling at his meticulous attention to detail and exquisite use of colour.
