EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map titled "Mapping: Map of Cathay (Catai) ancient name of Mongolian China in Central Asia and Europe". Created by Abraham Cresques in 1375, this Catalan Atlas provides a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge and cartographic skills of the time. The map depicts various regions and landmarks, including Delhi in India, with its Sultan ruling over the city. It also highlights significant bodies of water such as the Aral Sea, Volga River, and Caspian Sea. The Caucasus Mountains stand prominently on the map alongside major cities like Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Baghdad in Iraq, Samarkand in Uzbekistan, and Astrakhan in Russia. One cannot help but marvel at how this intricate piece captures not only the physical landscape but also cultural connections between different civilizations during that era. The inclusion of these diverse locations reflects an understanding of trade routes and political boundaries across Central Asia and Europe. Preserved within the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris today, this page from Cresques' Catalan Atlas serves as a testament to his mastery as a cartographer. Its historical significance lies not only in its accuracy for its time but also as evidence of early exploration efforts that shaped our understanding of geography. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Photo Josse, viewers can appreciate both the artistry behind medieval maps and their invaluable role in documenting our shared human history.
