EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving from 1675, titled "A chart of the sea coasts of New England, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Carolina from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras," is a true masterpiece of cartography. Created by John Seller, James Clark, and John Darby for the 'Atlas Maritimus,' this hand-colored map showcases the intricate details of the coastlines along the eastern seaboard of what would become the United States.
The borders are graduated for latitude, with bar scales in English and French leagues, Spanish leagues, and Dutch miles. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich history and maritime significance of these regions during the 17th century. From Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, every detail is meticulously rendered with precision and artistry.
As you gaze upon this historical artifact, you can't help but marvel at the skill and dedication that went into its creation. Each line and curve tells a story of exploration, trade routes, and naval navigation in a time when maps were essential tools for sailors braving unknown waters.
This print is not just a visual representation; it's a window into the past—a reminder of how far we've come in understanding our world's geography. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and curiosity that continues to drive us forward today.
