EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning map print is an exquisite example of cartographic art from the 16th century, specifically the first edition of Abraham Ortelius's seminal work, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," published in Antwerp in 1574. The map in question depicts Portugal, a significant European power during this era, with intricate detail and precision. Ortelius (1527-1598), a Flemish cartographer and geographer, is renowned for being the first person to publish a modern, uniform atlas. This map of Portugal is a testament to his groundbreaking work and the advancements in cartography during the Age of Discoveries. The map is held in the prestigious Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. It showcases the Iberian Peninsula in its entirety, with Portugal occupying a prominent position. The map's coastal features are rendered with remarkable accuracy, revealing the extensive knowledge of the Portuguese maritime explorations during this period. One of the most striking aspects of this map is the inclusion of various monsters and sea creatures along the coasts, reflecting the prevailing beliefs and myths of the time. The presence of a ship in the Atlantic Ocean suggests the importance of maritime trade and exploration. The relief features are depicted with a subtle yet effective use of shading, adding depth and dimension to the map. The intricate detailing of the islands, especially the Azores, further highlights the cartographer's expertise. This map is a fascinating glimpse into the historical geography of Europe during the late 16th century, providing valuable insights into the political, cultural, and exploratory milestones of the time. Its preservation in the Library of Catalonia ensures its continued significance in the study of cartography and European history.
