EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, a time of great exploration and discovery. It showcases a map titled "New World discovered by Columbus" from Pedro de Medina's Navigacion, published in Seville in 1552. The image captures the essence of cartography during this era, with its intricate grid lines and meticulous attention to detail. The map represents a significant milestone in history - the moment when Christopher Columbus first set foot on what would later be known as the Americas. It serves as a visual testament to his groundbreaking voyage and the subsequent opening of new horizons for humanity. Displayed vertically against a studio backdrop, this illustration transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at its accuracy and guidance despite limited technological resources. The Western script used adds an additional layer of historical authenticity. While devoid of people, this image speaks volumes about human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. It reminds us that there was once an unknown world waiting to be explored beyond familiar coastlines. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of Columbus' monumental achievement but also how far we have come since then. This print is not just an exquisite display; it is a window into our past and an invitation to reflect on the vastness and diversity that define our world today.
