EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a detailed representation of the island of Cuba in the Caribbean, created by Dutch cartographer Gerard van Keulen between 1709 and 1713. The intricate engraving captures the beauty and complexity of this important geographical location during the early 18th century.
The map, housed in the Biblioteca Angelica in Rome, is a testament to van Keulen's skill and precision as a cartographer. Every detail of the island is meticulously rendered, from its coastline to its interior topography. This piece serves as both a historical document and a work of art, offering viewers a glimpse into how Cuba was perceived and understood centuries ago.
As we study this map, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of human endeavor. The map not only provides valuable geographic information but also reflects cultural attitudes towards colonial territories like Cuba.
