This print showcases the remarkable "Atlas of Gerardus Mercator" from 1595, featuring a detailed map of the Americas and part of Antarctica. Created during the 16th century by renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator, this masterpiece offers a fascinating glimpse into the early exploration and understanding of these vast continents. The vibrant colors used in this print bring to life the intricate details that Mercator meticulously included in his map. From North to South America, every contour and coastline is carefully depicted, providing an invaluable historical record of geographical knowledge at that time. The inclusion of part of Antarctica further emphasizes Mercator's ambition to capture as much information about our planet as possible. This vertical composition allows viewers to fully appreciate the scale and scope covered by this extraordinary atlas.
