EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures a World map of Claude Ptolemee, also known as Claudius Ptolemaeus, from the 19th century. The colourful engraving illustrates the concept of a flat earth as believed by ancient civilizations such as the Greeks.
Claudius Ptolemaeus, who lived in the 2nd century AD, was a renowned astronomer and mathematician whose work had a significant impact on our understanding of the universe. His geocentric model of the universe placed Earth at the center with all celestial bodies revolving around it.
The intricate details and rich colors of this engraving bring to life Ptolemy's vision of the world during antiquity. From Europe to Greece, every region is meticulously depicted on this historical map.
As we gaze upon this piece of art, we are transported back in time to an era where knowledge and exploration were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of geography and astronomy since Ptolemy's time.
This print is not just a visual representation but also a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity throughout history. It is a fascinating glimpse into our past that continues to inspire awe and wonder in viewers today.
