EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sea chart of the coast of Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Cameroon. Created by the talented print maker Jan Luyken during the years 1683 to 1799, this intricate map is a true work of art. The ornamental details on this chart are truly breathtaking. From vibrant birds and majestic parrots to curious African monkeys and apes, every corner of this map is adorned with fascinating wildlife. Tortoises and turtles gracefully swim through the waves as if guiding sailors on their voyages. The compass rose at the center adds an element of navigation to this geographical masterpiece. A man wearing a feather headdress can be seen pointing towards different directions with his arm outstretched, symbolizing exploration and discovery. Ancient gods seem to watch over these lands from above while French miles mark distances along the coastlines. The vastness of the sea stretches beyond imagination, reminding us of our place in this wide world. Quint Lox has skillfully captured all these elements in his photograph, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this sea chart. It serves as a reminder that cartography has always been an essential tool for understanding our planet's geography throughout history.
