17th Century Camel Tartary Western Script Animal Representation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 17th century - the Map of Tartary, depicting Northern-Central Asia. With its intricate details and historical significance, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The studio shot captures the full length of this ancient artifact, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur. The Map of Tartary is an exquisite example of art and craft in cartography. Its horizontal layout presents a comprehensive view of physical geography, revealing vast landscapes and geographical features that were once unexplored territories. This map not only serves as a navigational tool but also represents an invaluable record of human exploration during that era. Intriguingly, amidst the sprawling terrain depicted on this map, we find representations of both humans and animals. A male likeness adds a touch of personalization to this otherwise impersonal representation while camels symbolize transportation across these rugged terrains. The use of Western script on this ancient map further emphasizes its historical context and cultural exchange between East and West during that period. It reminds us how knowledge was shared through maps like these long before modern technology made such information easily accessible. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and complexity inherent in early cartographic endeavors. Let it serve as a reminder that history is not merely confined within books; it can be visually experienced through artifacts like these – windows into our collective past.
