EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully detailed map of North Africa and Europe, created by the talented Guillaume de L'Isle in 1730. The map encompasses the countries of Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya in North Africa and Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece with Balearic Islands (such as Sardinia, Corsica), and Sicily in Europe. Etched with precision and skillful artistry on strong water extracted from the "Atlas Nouveau containing all parts of the world" this piece is a true testament to De L'Isle's expertise. The intricate details highlight geographical features such as rivers, mountains ranges and coastlines that define these regions. The fusion of French elegance and Spanish grandeur is evident in this masterpiece. It serves as a historical record capturing the essence of European exploration during the 18th century. This map not only provides valuable information about land boundaries but also offers insights into cultural connections between different civilizations. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this extraordinary artwork through her lens. With her keen eye for detail and composition skills, she brings out every nuance present on this vintage print. This photograph transports us back in time to an era when cartography was at its peak. As we admire this image today, it reminds us of our interconnectedness across continents throughout history. It serves as a visual reminder that borders may divide us geographically but cannot diminish our shared human experiences or cultural heritage.
