EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning manuscript chart of the Black Sea, dating back to around 1600, is a true masterpiece of cartography. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this map showcase the skill and artistry of the unknown artist who created it in the 17th century. Measuring at 47x35 cm, this chart is part of an atlas containing six charts that are bound together. Despite being French in origin, this highly decorated piece remains unsigned and undated, adding an air of mystery to its history. The National Maritime Museum in London houses this valuable artifact, allowing viewers to marvel at its beauty and historical significance. The depiction of the Black Sea on this map provides a glimpse into maritime navigation during the early 17th century, offering insights into trade routes and geographical knowledge from that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to an age when exploration and discovery were paramount. The detailed representation of the sea itself along with surrounding land masses serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mapping out our world.
