EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century. The image features a Map of Northern Europe, meticulously crafted by Abraham Ortelius (1528-1598) and published in Antwerp in 1570 as part of his renowned work, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. The map provides an intricate depiction of the topography and physical geography of the region, encompassing countries such as Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and even Greenland. Its detailed illustrations highlight rivers snaking through lush landscapes while coastlines gracefully meet with vast bodies of water. A sailing ship gracefully glides across the sea on its journey through these northern European waters. This aerial view offers a glimpse into how navigational equipment was utilized during this era for safe passage along treacherous coastlines. The Latin script accompanying the map serves as both guidance and historical documentation. It transports us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. Through this artful representation captured in this print by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of the rich history that lies within maps like these - not just as tools for navigation but also as works of art that encapsulate our understanding and perception of the world around us.
