EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of Virginia and Chesapeake Bay from Joannes de Laet's map of 1630. The intricate lines and delicate shading transport us back to the early days of America, when this region was still in its infancy as a colony. With an air of historical significance, this image allows us to explore the New World through the eyes of explorers like de Laet. The beauty lies in the precision with which every river, coast, and colony is depicted on this ancient map. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, cartographers possessed an incredible ability to capture the essence of a place through their artistry. As we gaze upon this piece, our imagination takes flight along the shores of Chesapeake Bay. We can almost feel the salty breeze brushing against our faces and hear the gentle lapping of waves against wooden ships. This snapshot transports us to a time when Virginia was just beginning to establish itself as part of what would eventually become the United States. Through this photograph, we are reminded not only of America's rich history but also how far we have come since those early days. It invites us to reflect on our roots while appreciating how much has changed over time.
