EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving, titled 'Map of the kingdoms of Granada and Murcia (Granata et Murcia regna)' by Willem Janszoon Blaeu, provides an intricate and detailed representation of the regions of Granada and Murcia in Spain during the early 17th century. The map, published in Amsterdam in 1635, is decorated with the arms of both states and features a surveyor in the top left corner and a naval combat scene in the bottom right. The map covers the southern Spanish provinces of Andalusia, specifically the regions of Granada and Murcia. The intricate detailing of the map includes the winding Guadalquivir River, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean Sea. The map also highlights the African coastline and the Moroccan and African territories, emphasizing the importance of maritime trade and exploration during this period. The inclusion of the arms of both Granada and Murcia adds a sense of historical significance to the map, while the figure of the surveyor and the naval combat scene underscores the importance of cartography and military power in the exploration and colonization of new territories. The map is also adorned with colorful engravings of boats and other maritime craft, further emphasizing the Mediterranean's role as a major hub of trade and transportation during this time. This map was produced by Willem Janszoon Blaeu, a prominent Dutch cartographer and publisher who was active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The map is a testament to the advanced cartographic techniques of the time and provides valuable insights into the geography and political landscape of southern Spain during the early modern period.
