EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page from Coryats Crudities, a renowned travel handbook published in 1611. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist of the 17th century, is part of a private collection and depicts a scene filled with rich historical significance. The image captures the essence of early seventeenth-century exploration and adventure. A ship sailing on rough seas serves as the backdrop for this portrait-style composition. In the foreground stands Thomas Coryate, a fictional author who symbolizes the spirit of travel and discovery during that era. Surrounded by bystanders and background people going about their daily lives, Coryate holds his book close to his chest. This rare edition was one of the first guidebooks written in English for continental travel, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to explore France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and other European destinations. The intricate details within this engraving transport viewers back in time - from architectural features like pillars to equine companions accompanying travelers on their journeys. The depiction of water vehicles further emphasizes the importance of maritime transportation during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured through black-and-white photography by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of our human desire to explore but also how literature has played a vital role in guiding us throughout history's vast landscapes.
