EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century map print showcases a part of New Spain, the coast of Peru, and the magnificent city of Lima. Measuring 30 x 21 cm, this manuscript is housed in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, Spain. The map provides a detailed depiction of New Spain with its sprawling coastline extending to Peru and highlighting the vibrant city of Lima. It offers a glimpse into the geographical landscape and cartography techniques used during that era. Originally featured in "Mapas de las costas de America en el mar del Sur" this particular section (Ms. 2957. Sheet 95v. and 97. ) captures the essence of Central America's maritime significance during colonial times. The Spanish School's craftsmanship shines through as they meticulously illustrate every coastal detail and geographic feature on this historic document. The intricate lines and careful shading bring to life an accurate representation of South America's western shores. As we explore this ancient artifact, it transports us back to a time when exploration was at its peak, showcasing how early navigators charted their way across uncharted territories. This remarkable piece serves as both an educational tool for understanding historical geography and as a testament to human curiosity about our world's vastness centuries ago. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into past civilizations' knowledge and aspirations for discovery.
