EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of a Map of Southern Europe, created by Joan Martines in Messina, Sicily in 1587, is a true masterpiece that captures the beauty and intricacy of cartography during this time period. The map showcases not only the coastlines of Southern Europe, but also includes the North African coast and the Canary Islands.
The attention to detail in this nautical chart is truly remarkable, with every island and coastline meticulously drawn to scale. It serves as a reminder of the importance of navigation and exploration during this era, when sailors relied on maps like these to navigate treacherous waters.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an age when travel was fraught with danger and uncertainty. Yet despite these challenges, explorers like Martines were able to create works of art that not only guided ships safely to their destinations but also served as beautiful pieces of craftsmanship.
This Map of Southern Europe is not just a geographical representation; it is a work of art that tells a story of adventure and discovery. It reminds us of our shared history and the enduring human spirit that drives us to explore new horizons.
