EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable "Map of Cuba, c1500" engraved by the German School in the 19th century. The map, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held's "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk" published by Otto Spamer in 1880. Digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity, this image takes us back to the dawn of discovery and exploration. The map itself is a testament to the historical significance of Christopher Columbus' voyage and Spain's influence during the 15th and 16th centuries. It offers a glimpse into the New World as it was perceived at that time, with Cuba taking center stage as an island jewel in the Caribbean Sea. As we delve into this piece of cartography, we are transported to an era when Europe was eagerly venturing beyond its borders. The intricate details reveal not only Spain's dominance but also hint at other European powers such as Iceland making their mark on history. With its rich colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this print serves as both a window into our past and a reminder of how far we have come. It sparks curiosity about those early explorers who shaped our world today while reminding us of Cuba's pivotal role in shaping global history. Through this image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into one small piece of humanity's grand narrative.
