EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures the essence of Florida in the 16th century. Taken from Guillaume Le Testu's "Cosmographie Universelle" published in 1555, this map showcases the intricate details of the region with watercolor on paper. The map depicts Florida's coastline, stretching along the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The artist pays meticulous attention to geographical accuracy, highlighting various landmarks and rivers that define this American state. A compass rose elegantly adorns one corner, symbolizing exploration and discovery during a time when cartography was still evolving. What truly sets this print apart is its inclusion of native animals that once roamed freely across Florida's untamed landscapes. From majestic birds soaring above to curious mammals roaming below, these creatures add an element of life to an otherwise static representation. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on paper – a snapshot of America's past. It serves as a reminder of our ever-changing world and how far we have come since those early days of exploration. Thanks to Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com for preserving such valuable historical artifacts like this Fol. 54v Map of Florida. Let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its significance in understanding our shared history as inhabitants of this great nation.
