EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of Sri Lanka, created by the renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1596. The intricate details and artistic skill evident in this work make it a true masterpiece of its time. Mercator's depiction of Sri Lanka, also known as Ceylon, offers a glimpse into the island's geography during the 16th century. This particular engraving is part of his esteemed atlas book titled "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" which was published in Duisburg. The enchanting beauty of Sri Lanka is brought to life through Mercator's artistry. From lush green landscapes to winding rivers and majestic mountains, every element has been meticulously captured on this map. It serves as both a geographical reference and a visual delight for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly preserved this historical gem with her photography skills, allowing us to admire the intricacies from centuries ago. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness the rich history and cultural significance that Sri Lanka holds. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we can't help but marvel at how far cartography has come since Mercator's era. Yet, his contribution remains invaluable not only for its accuracy but also for its ability to evoke wonder and curiosity about our world.
