EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the World map from 1798. Created by renowned cartographer William Faden and engraved by William Palmer, this map represents a significant milestone in geographical exploration. With its Mercator Projection, the map accurately depicts the world's continents and oceans, incorporating the most recent discoveries of that time. As the royal geographer to King George III, Faden was entrusted with providing accurate and up-to-date maps for navigation and education. Originally featured in Faden's Atlas minimus universalis, designed primarily for educational purposes, this print offers us a glimpse into how people perceived the world during the late 18th century. Its vibrant colors bring life to each country and region depicted on its surface. The intricate engravings showcase Faden's attention to detail as he meticulously crafted every line and curve. This historical artifact not only serves as an invaluable resource for understanding past explorations but also stands as a work of art in itself. Preserved in private collection until now, this photograph captures every nuance of Faden's masterpiece. Thanks to Ken Welsh's expert photography skills, we can admire this stunning print with all its rich colors and intricate details intact. As we gaze upon this image, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance - reminding us of our ever-evolving understanding of our vast world throughout centuries past.
