EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning wood engraving captures the vibrant and bustling Indian coast of Malabar in 1459, as described in the cosmography of Fra Mauro. The intricate details and vivid colors bring to life this historical depiction of a key stage on the spice route, with the city of Dehli prominently indicated at the top. What makes this print truly unique is its reverse presentation, showcasing the south at the top rather than traditional orientation. This unconventional perspective adds an intriguing twist to an already fascinating piece of art from the 15th century. The boats dotting the ocean waters, transporting goods and passengers along this important trade route, serve as a reminder of India's rich maritime history and cultural significance. The colors used in this reproduction further enhance the vibrancy and energy of this coastal scene. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself being transported back in time to experience firsthand the sights and sounds of Malabar during its heyday. It serves as a visual testament to India's enduring legacy as a hub for trade, commerce, and cultural exchange throughout history.
