EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure - the Map of Island of Hispaniola, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, and part of Antilles. Created by Abraham Ortelius between 1528-1598, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistry and precision of cartography in the 16th century. The map depicts an archipelago bathed in rich history and natural beauty. With its intricate details and Western script annotations, it offers a glimpse into the past when exploration was at its peak. The island's physical geography comes alive through vibrant illustrations and paintings that adorn this remarkable piece. From Haiti to Hispaniola, from Puerto Rico to Santo Domingo, every corner of these Greater Antilles is meticulously portrayed on this horizontal artwork. It transports us back in time as we marvel at how our understanding of these lands has evolved over centuries. In this studio shot photograph, we can appreciate the craftsmanship behind Ortelius' work without any distractions. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the intricacies within each stroke and contour. As we gaze upon this map print with awe-inspiring admiration for both its historical significance and artistic brilliance, we are reminded that maps not only serve as navigational tools but also as windows into different eras. This particular creation from Ortelius' renowned Theatrum Orbis Terrarum collection truly encapsulates the essence of cartography as an art form.
