EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Map of the World, Corrected from the Observations communicated to the Royal Societies of London and Paris" by John Senex and John Maxwell. Created in 1711, this exquisite color engraving is a testament to their expertise in mapping and cartography. The map presents a double hemisphere view, depicting both the eastern and western parts of the world. It offers an intricate representation of various continents, including America, Africa, Asia, and New Holland (now known as Australia). The Pacific Ocean stretches across one side while the Atlantic dominates the other. With meticulous detail, Senex and Maxwell have accurately depicted geographical features such as rivers, mountains, coastlines, and islands. This scientific approach highlights their commitment to precision in cartographic artistry. Notably significant is their inclusion of Ethiopia within Africa's borders—a nod to its historical importance. The Great South Sea also commands attention as it captures explorers' imaginations with its vastness yet uncharted territories. This stunning print invites viewers into a world where knowledge was still being discovered. It serves as a reminder that maps are not merely navigational tools but also works of art that reflect our evolving understanding of our planet's geography throughout history.
