EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Map of Africa and South America" created by Domingo Sanchez in 1618. A true masterpiece of 17th-century cartography, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into the world as it was perceived during that era. The map itself is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of Sanchez's work. With its horizontal orientation, it effortlessly guides viewers through the vast Atlantic Ocean, connecting continents like South America, Africa, North America, and Europe. The inclusion of physical geography highlights the diverse landscapes found across these regions. Intriguingly, a sailing ship gracefully glides across the ocean surface on this map—a symbol of exploration and adventure that evokes thoughts of historical voyages undertaken during this time period. The presence of background people adds depth to the illustration while reminding us that maps were not just tools for navigation but also works of art meant to inspire wonder. Sanchez's use of Western script allows viewers to decipher place names with ease while a wind rose provides guidance on directionality. This particular print captures an outdoor scene bathed in natural daylight—enhancing our appreciation for both nature's beauty and human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time—an invitation to explore history through artistry and gain insight into how our understanding of geography has evolved over centuries.
