EDITORS COMMENTS
This facsimile print showcases the historic Carta marina, or Sea Map, created in 1516. The intricately detailed engraving is described in Carlos Sainz's renowned work, "The Name of America." Housed in the esteemed Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain, this precious artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history of cartography and nautical exploration during the 16th century. The Carta marina is a seminal work in the history of cartography, as it is one of the earliest maps to depict the Americas accurately, featuring the eastern coastline of South America and the Caribbean islands. The map's creator remains unknown, but it is believed to have been produced in Spain, likely for the use of the Spanish Crown and its expanding maritime empire. The map's intricate details include the depiction of various cities, bays, and islands, as well as the inclusion of a compass rose and other navigational aids. The engraving process, which involved carving the design into a copper plate and then printing it onto paper, allowed for the production of multiple copies with remarkable precision. This facsimile print invites us to explore the fascinating world of early cartography and the intrepid explorers who braved the unknown waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It serves as a testament to the power of human curiosity and the enduring allure of the sea.
