EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map of Europe and coasts of the North of Africa, 1587" by Joan Martines. Created in Messina, Sicily during the 16th century, this nautical letter (Portulan) offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge and navigational techniques of that era. The intricate details depicted on this map transport us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. With its meticulously drawn coastlines, cities, and landmarks, it serves as an invaluable record of how Europeans perceived their world centuries ago. The inclusion of North African coasts adds another layer to its significance, highlighting the interconnectedness between these regions during that period. As we study this ancient artifact through modern eyes, we can't help but marvel at Martines' skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every stroke seems purposeful; every contour carefully considered. It is evident that this map was not only intended for practical use but also served as a work of art in its own right. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to have access to such historical treasures like this one. This print allows us to appreciate Martines' masterpiece from afar while reminding us of our shared human curiosity for exploration and understanding.
