EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the World map of Claudius Ptolemaeus, also known as Claude Ptolemee, a renowned Greek astronomer and astrologer from 90-168 AD. The map is depicted in striking red, contrasting with the real positions of cities and countries shown in black. This representation offers a fascinating glimpse into the ancient understanding of geography and cartography.
The flat earth depicted on this map lacks the North and South poles, as well as the American continent, reflecting the limited knowledge available during Ptolemaeus' time. Despite these inaccuracies, his work laid the foundation for future explorations and advancements in astronomy.
This 19th-century engraving captures the intricate details of Ptolemaeus' world map, showcasing Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania with meticulous precision. The vibrant colors used in this print bring to life an important historical document that continues to inspire curiosity about our planet's past.
As we marvel at this depiction of ancient geographical knowledge juxtaposed with modern understandings of our world's layout, we are reminded of how far humanity has come in unraveling the mysteries of our planet. This print serves as a reminder of both our past accomplishments and ongoing quest for discovery.
