EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately detailed coloured engraving, created by Frederick de Wit in 1680, showcases a historical map of Mongolia. The map encompasses not only the vast Mongolian territory but also parts of Russia, Japan, and China. With its rich hues and precise cartographic details, this print offers a glimpse into the geographical landscape of Central Asia during the late 17th century. The Map of Mongolia provides valuable insight into the region's history and cultural significance. Known as Great Tartary or Tartaria at that time, it highlights the extensive reach of Mongolian influence across Central Asia. This engraving serves as an important resource for scholars studying both Mongolian history and global trade routes during this period. Displayed prominently in London's O Shea Gallery, this artwork transports viewers back to a time when maps were meticulously handcrafted works of art. De Wit's mastery is evident in his attention to detail – from mountain ranges to rivers and cities – all carefully etched onto paper with precision. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how maps have shaped our understanding of the world throughout centuries. It invites us to explore not only physical geography but also delve deeper into the stories behind these ancient lands - tales that continue to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike.
