This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 18th century. Titled "World map Drawn from Observations Made at the Academy of Sciences by Guillaume Delisle" this masterpiece was created in Paris in 1700. The copperplate engraving, skillfully executed by Claude-Auguste Berey, measures an impressive 49 x 77 cm. The intricately detailed map provides a window into history, offering valuable insights into the geographical knowledge and understanding of that era. With its horizontal orientation, it spans across both hemispheres, depicting continents such as Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. It also highlights major bodies of water including the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Indian Ocean. Beyond its educational value lies an artistic charm that is evident in every stroke of ink on paper. The background people add depth to the illustration while Western script labels various regions with precision. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork today, it serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration throughout time. A symbol of guidance for travelers then and now alike; it invites us to embark on our own journeys while reminding us of the vastness and interconnectedness of our world's physical geography
