EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of "A map of the world" from Atlas maritimus, created by John Seller in 1682. Measuring at a modest 12x14 cm, this intricate piece is housed within the esteemed New York Public Library in the United States. Seller, an eminent figure as Hydrographer to the King during his time, played a pivotal role in crafting the first English maps known as pilots. His Atlas maritimus served as a comprehensive sea-atlas that meticulously described coastlines across various corners of the globe. The map itself offers an immersive journey into cartography and navigation, with detailed depictions of seas, oceans, coasts, and even indigenous peoples and animals encountered during maritime explorations. It serves not only as a tool for discovery but also provides insights into early perceptions of America and its native inhabitants. With precise indications of longitude and latitude lines alongside hemispheres showcasing both halves of our planet Earth, this artwork stands as a testament to Seller's expertise in hydrography and his contribution to advancing navigational knowledge. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured through photography by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded of humanity's ceaseless quest for exploration and understanding our vast world.
