EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map of the Gulf of Mexico, specifically the region known as Guastecan, from Hernando de Soto's expedition in 1570. The engraving was created by Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) and later enhanced with vibrant colors by Christophe Plantin (1514 or 1520-1589) in 1588. The map, part of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, offers a fascinating glimpse into the cartography of the 16th century. Its intricate details and precise markings reflect the expertise of Ortelius as a geographer and engraver. With its strong watercolors and vivid hues, this particular version held at the University Library of Salamanca in Spain is truly remarkable. What makes this image even more intriguing is its lack of human presence. Without any people depicted on the map, it emphasizes an unpopulated landscape that once belonged to ancient Mexico. This historical artifact allows us to explore North America during a time when European exploration was shaping new frontiers. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to a pivotal era in history where geographical knowledge expanded rapidly through expeditions like de Soto's. It serves as a testament to mankind's thirst for discovery and our relentless pursuit to understand our world better. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this significant artwork from Fine Art Finder, preserving its essence for generations to come.
