EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century double cordiform world map by Antonio Salamanca takes us on a journey through time and space. Printed in Roma in 1550, this copperplate masterpiece showcases the artistry and precision of cartography during this era. Inspired by Gerardo Mercatore, Salamanca's creation beautifully captures the continents of Africa, Asia, and South America with intricate detail. The horizontal layout allows for a comprehensive view of our planet's physical geography, from the North Pole to the South Pole. As we explore this historical artifact, we are reminded of the importance of maps as guides for travel and navigation. This particular map serves as a testament to human curiosity about distant lands and uncharted territories. The absence of people in this illustration emphasizes its focus on geographical features rather than human activity. Western script labels various regions across the globe while highlighting significant bodies of water like the Atlantic Ocean. Antonio Salamanca's artistic prowess shines through his careful craftsmanship evident in every line etched onto paper using copper print technology. This print is not just an informative tool but also an exquisite work of art that combines both science and aesthetics seamlessly. Step back into history with this remarkable piece that offers glimpses into how our ancestors perceived their world centuries ago. Let your imagination soar as you trace ancient trade routes or ponder over undiscovered lands waiting to be explored.
