EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, immersing us in a world of adventure and exploration. Attributed to Abraham and Jafuda Cresques Maiorca, this Catalan Atlas was published for Charles V of France around 1375. The image depicts merchants embarking on an epic journey to Cathay, China, following in the footsteps of the legendary Marco Polo. The scene is filled with intricate details that bring this historical moment to life. A large group of people can be seen traveling together, their determination evident as they traverse unknown lands. They are accompanied by a diverse array of animals - horses and camels - carrying their precious cargo. The map itself serves as a testament to the artistry and skill of these cartographers from Majorca. It showcases topography with precision while also capturing the spirit of exploration that defined this era. As we gaze upon this horizontal masterpiece, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe at the bravery and ambition displayed by those who dared venture into uncharted territories centuries ago. This illustration transports us back in time, allowing us to witness history unfold before our eyes. Let this image serve as a reminder that human curiosity knows no bounds; it drives us forward through adversity and propels us towards new horizons even when faced with uncertainty.
