EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a detailed representation of the island of Hispaniola (comprising Haiti and Santo Domingo) and the passage of the Winds in the Caribbean archipelago. The map, taken from "The West Indian Atlas or General Description of West Indies" by Thomas Jefferys in 1774, showcases intricate geographical details with a Wind Rose below.
Dating back to the 18th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into early cartography and exploration of Central America and the Western Hemisphere. The map provides valuable insights into navigation routes, wind patterns, and dominium territories during that era.
The historical significance of this Geography Atlas is further emphasized by its presence in Biblioteca Jose Marti in Havana, Cuba. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and maritime history associated with the Caribbean region.
As we admire this piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to an age when maps were not just tools for navigation but also symbols of power and discovery. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in every detail reflects the dedication and expertise of geographers like Thomas Jefferys who played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of geography.
This print is not just a visual treat but also a window into our past, reminding us of the interconnectedness between land, sea, and human civilization throughout history.
