EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical artifact, the "Map of East India" created by Frederick de Wit in 1671. The intricate etching depicts the vast region of South and Southeast Asia, encompassing present-day countries such as Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma (now Myanmar), Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia. The map's exquisite details highlight the geographical diversity and cultural richness of this extensive area. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complex history and interconnectedness of these nations. Each border is meticulously drawn to accurately represent their boundaries during that era. Frederick de Wit's expertise in cartography is evident through his precise rendering of coastlines and rivers. This map was extracted from his renowned work "Theatrum Orbis" which solidified his reputation as one of the most influential Dutch cartographers. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this piece with her camera lens while preserving its authenticity. Through her lensmanship skills and attention to detail, she allows us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also the historical significance embedded within this ancient map. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration was at its peak. It reminds us of how far we have come in our understanding of geography while honoring those who paved the way for our knowledge about these lands.
