EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history, the "Map of the islands of Sicily and Malta and part of the coast of Tunisia". Created by an anonymous artist between 1682 and 1803, this map is a true testament to the artistry and commitment that went into early geographical representations. The map itself is adorned with intricate details, including beautifully decorated compass roses and French miles. It provides a comprehensive view of the islands of Sicily and Malta, along with a portion of the Tunisian coastline. The accuracy in depicting these geographic features highlights the skillful craftsmanship employed by its creator. One cannot help but be drawn to the fish motifs scattered throughout this artwork. These aquatic creatures add an element of whimsy to an otherwise serious depiction. Perhaps they symbolize not only marine life but also exploration or trade routes across these waters. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, it transports us back in time when maps were essential tools for navigation and discovery. The dedication put forth by both Anonymous, who crafted this masterpiece, as well as Johannes van Keulen I who published it, is evident in every detail. This print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection serves as a reminder that even centuries-old maps can still captivate our imagination today. It invites us to appreciate not only their practical purpose but also their artistic beauty—a harmonious blend where geography meets creativity on paper.
