EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Atlantic coasts of Europe, from Norway to Finisterre, in exquisite detail. Created in 1666 by Nicholas Comberford, a prominent member of the Thames School of chart makers, this piece showcases his mastery of manuscript plane charts on vellum.
The border is graduated for latitude, with soundings depicted in the south-west approaches, the Channel, North Sea, and the Bay of Biscay. The scale is measured in English leagues, adding to the historical significance of this artwork.
As you gaze upon this 17th-century masterpiece, you are transported back in time to an era when cartography was both a science and an art form. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the coastlines of Spain, France, and other European countries along the Atlantic Ocean.
This work not only serves as a geographical representation but also as a testament to human ingenuity and exploration during that period. It is a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of the world around us.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this print is a true treasure that continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance.
