EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century map, created by Claude Jollain and printed in 1667, offers a glimpse into the historical geography of Genoa Signoria, Nice County, and Northern Corsica. Crafted through the meticulous art of copper engraving, this antique piece showcases the intricate details that were characteristic of cartography during this era. The map is part of the renowned Tresor des Cartes Geographiques des Principaux Estats de l Univers collection, which translates to "Treasury of Geographical Maps of the Principal States of the Universe". It serves as a testament to Jollain's skill as an illustrator and painter in capturing geographical nuances with precision. With its horizontal orientation and absence of people, this illustration transports us back in time to explore these regions untouched by modern development. The map not only provides valuable insights into historical boundaries but also acts as a visual representation of how these areas were perceived centuries ago. As we delve into history through this remarkable piece, we can appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. Its presence reminds us that maps are not just tools for navigation; they hold stories about our past and shed light on how societies have evolved over time. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us to embark on a journey through time and immerse ourselves in the rich history embedded within its delicate engravings.
