EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of the Nile Delta and ancient city of Carthage. Created by Abraham Ortelius, a renowned Flemish cartographer from Antwerp in the late 16th century, this map is an exquisite example of his influential work. Ortelius's masterpiece, featured in Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, takes us on a journey through time and space. With intricate detail and precision, he beautifully captures the physical geography of the Nile Delta region as well as the ancient city of Carthage. This map serves as both an invaluable historical document and a stunning piece of art. The composition is horizontal, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in every minute detail presented before them. Through careful brushstrokes and delicate use of color, Ortelius breathes life into this illustration. The Latin script adds an air of authenticity to this manuscript-like creation. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak. It reminds us that maps were not just tools for navigation but also works of art that celebrated human curiosity about our world. In this particular rendition from Universal Images Group (UIG), no people are present; instead, it focuses solely on showcasing the magnificence and significance behind Ortelius's creation. Let this photograph print serve as a reminder that even centuries later, these historical artifacts continue to captivate our imagination with their timeless beauty.
