EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate map created by Antonio Pigafetta, a 16th-century Italian sailor who accompanied Magellan on his historic voyage to circumnavigate the earth. The map depicts the Detroit of Magellan, showcasing Pigafetta's detailed navigation skills and knowledge of the land. What makes this map truly unique is that north is represented at the bottom, providing a different perspective for viewers accustomed to traditional maps.
