EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Guinea, Lybia - Africa" by the renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator. Created in 1596, this piece is a true testament to Mercator's skill and attention to detail. The engraving is part of his larger work, "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" which was published in Duisburg in 1596. The image depicts the geographical map of Guinea and Libya, two regions located in North Africa. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the African continent during the late 16th century. With its intricate lines and delicate shading, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of African geography. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this historical artwork through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This particular photograph belongs to a private collection but is available for public viewing. As we admire this print, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration and cartography were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of humanity's endless curiosity about our world and our desire to document it with precision and artistry. This print not only celebrates the artistic brilliance of Gerardus Mercator but also pays tribute to Luisa Ricciarini's talent for capturing timeless masterpieces through her photography.
