EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Map of America" by Gerardo Mercatore, a renowned cartographer from the 16th century. With its full-length depiction and breathtaking nature scenery, this artwork takes us back in time to an era when exploration was at its peak. In the foreground, we see a majestic sailing ship gracefully gliding through the calm waters, accompanied by a rowing boat. The men on board are fully engaged in their travel endeavors, using navigational equipment to guide them across the vast sea. Meanwhile, two animals stand witness to this historical voyage. The map itself is a masterpiece of art and craftmanship. It meticulously illustrates both North and South America with intricate topography and detailed coastlines. Western script text provides guidance for travelers seeking new lands or trade routes during that period. As we delve into this image's rich history, it becomes evident how significant Mercatore's contribution was to our understanding of the world at that time. This piece not only serves as a testament to his skill as a cartographer but also offers insight into the past lives of those who embarked on daring expeditions. With its horizontal composition and vibrant colors under daylight skies, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance captured within Gerardo Mercatore's Map of America.
