EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of North Africa from a nautical atlas created in 1520 by the talented Giovanni Xenodocus da Corfu. The ink on vellum medium adds an exquisite touch to this historical masterpiece, which is currently housed at the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The intricate detail and precision of this map highlight the expertise of da Corfu as a cartographer. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the cities and ports that dotted the North African coastline during the 16th century. From Tunisia to Libya, and even Malta, every city is meticulously depicted with accuracy and artistry. As we explore this image further, we are transported back in time to an era when maritime travel played a crucial role in shaping world history. The Mediterranean Sea served as both a gateway for trade routes and a battleground for empires seeking dominance. This particular print allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It reminds us of how maps were once invaluable tools for sailors navigating treacherous waters and discovering new lands. Whether you are an avid lover of cartography or simply intrigued by ancient civilizations, this stunning piece will undoubtedly captivate your imagination.
