EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "986455" takes us back to the early 18th century in the Netherlands. Created by a talented Netherlandish artist, this hand-coloured image showcases a large group of people engaged in their daily lives outdoors. The scene is set during daytime, and the artist has beautifully captured the essence of this era. Intriguingly shaped as a circle, this double-page print draws our attention to both men and women going about their routines. The hand tinting adds depth and vibrancy to each individual's attire, highlighting the rich Dutch artistry prevalent at that time. As we explore further into the details of this piece, we notice navigational equipment scattered around. This suggests that these individuals might be explorers or sailors preparing for an adventure across continents. It reminds us of how crucial cartography was during this period in mapping out uncharted territories. Frederick de Wit, a renowned European artist known for his exceptional engravings and maps, created this particular artwork as part of his famous Atlas Major series published in 1705. Each leaf within this atlas offers glimpses into different aspects of life on Earth. With its meticulous engraving technique and exquisite hand colouring, "986455" transports us back to an era when geographic exploration was at its peak. This remarkable print serves as a testament to De Wit's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to capture scenes from everyday life with such precision and beauty.
