EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of Nova Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, an atlas created by Johannes Jansson in Amsterdam in 1647. Measuring at 49.5 x 33.5 cm, this front page instantly transports us back to the fascinating world of cartography during the 17th century. The image depicts a majestic standing figure gesturing towards a grand columned facade, exuding an air of authority and knowledge. This allegorical representation symbolizes the significance and power of maps as tools for understanding our physical geography and unraveling the complexities of our world. With its intricate illustration and painting techniques, this artwork beautifully captures both historical clothing styles and ideas prevalent during that era. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the artistry displayed within this vertical composition. Latin script adorns every corner, reminding us of its historical context while adding an element of authenticity to this piece. It is important to note that this particular mention does not refer to any commercial use but rather emphasizes the cultural value embedded within these pages. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of the craftsmanship involved in creating such atlases but also their profound impact on shaping our understanding of history and geography.
