EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fol. 5v Map of Great Britain, Europe and North West Africa from the renowned Portugaliae Monumenta. Created by Lazaro Luis in the 16th century, this vellum cartographica offers a fascinating account of the discoveries made by Fernao Gomez between 1470-75. The map itself is a testament to the spirit of exploration and pioneering that characterized this era. It depicts not only Great Britain and Europe but also stretches as far as North West Africa, providing an invaluable insight into the geographical knowledge of that time. Intriguingly, amidst the intricate details of landmasses and coastlines, one can spot a flag symbolizing discovery fluttering proudly over these uncharted territories. This serves as a reminder of the audacious explorers who ventured into unknown lands with nothing more than their courage and curiosity. Adding to its allure is an image of a camel gracefully placed on this ancient map. The presence of this majestic creature hints at both trade routes across vast deserts and cultural exchanges between distant civilizations. Preserved by Academia das Ciencias de Lisboa in Lisbon, Portugal, this piece represents an important part of Portuguese history. Its significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its artistic beauty captured on vellum. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an age when maps were gateways to undiscovered worlds - where pioneers like Fernao Gomez paved the way for future
