EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of history - the "Map of the World, According to Ptolemy" created by Agathodaemon of Alexandria in 1923. This map, featured in the book "Australia, New Zealand and Oceania in Pictures" by H. Clive Barnard, offers a glimpse into how ancient cartography influenced early 20th-century interpretations. Agathodaemon's work is based on the original map created by Claudius Ptolemy, a Greek geographer from the 2nd century. The intricate details and precision displayed on this monochrome image highlight Agathodaemon's dedication to accuracy while paying homage to Ptolemy's groundbreaking contributions. The map depicts various continents and countries known during that time period, providing insight into geographical knowledge at that specific moment in history. It serves as a reminder of how our understanding of the world has evolved over centuries. Through this studio shot captured by The Print Collector, viewers are transported back to an era when maps were not just navigational tools but also works of art and literature. The craftsmanship exhibited here reflects both Agathodaemon's skill as well as his appreciation for historical cartography. As we observe this print today, it sparks curiosity about our ever-changing perception of geography and reminds us that even though time progresses rapidly, remnants from different eras continue to shape our understanding of the world around us.
