EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of cartographic history - the Nautical World Map from 1634. The map, found in the esteemed Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, offers a unique perspective on global geography during that era. Australia is depicted as a suggested but still unknown territory, shrouded in mystery and waiting to be explored. One intriguing aspect of this map is the portrayal of California as an island, which was a common misconception at the time. This artistic interpretation adds an element of intrigue and curiosity to the overall composition. The fine art image captures the intricate details and craftsmanship involved in creating such nautical charts. Crafted by Jean Guerard, an active cartographer during the late 16th century and early 17th century, this masterpiece combines watercolor on parchment to create a visually stunning representation of our world's oceans. As we delve into this historical artifact, it serves as a reminder of how our understanding of geography has evolved over time. It sparks contemplation about past explorations and discoveries that have shaped our present knowledge. This photograph print not only preserves an important piece of history but also invites us to embark on a journey through time and space. It reminds us that there are always new frontiers awaiting exploration - both geographically and intellectually.
