EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print, titled "A new and accurate map of the world, 1676" takes us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. Created by John Speed, a renowned English cartographer from the 17th century, this map showcases his meticulous attention to detail. Measuring at 41x54 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious New York Public Library. It offers a glimpse into the knowledge and understanding of the world during that period. The map draws upon true descriptions, latest discoveries, and observations made by both English explorers and foreigners alike. As we explore this intricate work of art, we are transported across vast oceans and coastlines. Its hydrography reveals detailed sea charts that guided sailors through uncharted territories. Hemispheres depict continents such as America with remarkable accuracy for its time. The inclusion of additional maps and diagrams enhances our understanding of maritime navigation techniques used during expeditions led by famous explorers like Magellan, Drake, Van der Noort, Candish - names synonymous with adventure. Beyond Earthly boundaries lie celestial elements: a moon shining brightly amidst stars in a celestial sphere. This print not only serves as a navigational tool but also sparks curiosity about our place within the universe. With every glance at this historic artifact capturing centuries-old knowledge on paper, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable desire for exploration – to uncover hidden treasures on land or unravel mysteries beyond our planet's borders.
