EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite antique map, a captivating glimpse into the cartographic knowledge of the Americas in 1685. This rare and intricately detailed map, titled "America," was created over three centuries ago, offering a fascinating perspective on the geographical understanding of the New World during that era. The map, produced in 1685, displays the North and South American continents in their entirety, with the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans framing the edges. The mapmaker's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the representation of various rivers, mountains, and bodies of water. The map also includes annotations and labels, some in Latin and others in Old French, denoting places of significance such as cities, forts, and indigenous tribes. One particularly noteworthy feature of this map is the depiction of North America, which includes an enlarged section of the northwestern region. This area, which was not well-explored at the time, is shown with a degree of accuracy that is remarkable for the era. The map also includes a hilltop scene, which offers a picturesque and romanticized vision of the New World, with native peoples depicted in their traditional attire, engaged in various activities. This map is a testament to the journeys and voyages of exploration that took place during the 17th century, as Europeans sought to expand their knowledge of the world beyond their shores. It is a reminder of the sense of adventure and discovery that characterized this era, and a reminder of the rich history that lies behind the modern-day United States, Canada, and the other countries of the Americas.
