EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the world of navigation and measurement. The image showcases a ship anchored in a picturesque harbor, with a towering structure in the background. A sailor is seen using a quadrant marked with shadow-scales to measure the distance from the ship to shore. The scene exudes an air of exploration and scientific curiosity as this navigational device was crucial for sailors during that era. It allowed them to determine their position at sea by measuring angles between celestial bodies and their shadows on Earth. Ottavius Fabri, an Italian mathematician and surveyor, captured this momentous occasion in his book "L usa della squadra mobile" published in Venice in 1598. His work played a significant role in advancing mathematical instruments used for navigation. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. As we admire this engraving from centuries ago, we are reminded of how far humanity has come in terms of transportation and technology. This print serves as both an educational tool for understanding past advancements in mathematics and navigation while also evoking a sense of wonder about our ancestors' journeys across vast oceans.
