EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving from the 10th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica showcases a detailed map of Valparaiso and Santiago, Chile circa 1902. The intricate cartography captures the essence of these historic capital cities with precision and artistry.
The old-fashioned style of this map transports us back in time to an era when exploration and navigation were essential skills. The Western script used on the map adds to its authenticity, giving us a glimpse into the past when physical geography was still being discovered and documented.
As we study this square image, we can almost feel the sea breeze coming off the Pacific Ocean as ships navigate their way along the coastline using traditional navigational equipment. The guidance provided by this map would have been invaluable to sailors and explorers seeking to chart new territories in Chile.
Despite there being no people depicted in this illustration, it speaks volumes about the rich history and culture of Valparaiso and Santiago.
