EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SURVEYING, 1594" takes us back in time to witness the meticulous work of surveyors during the late 16th century. The line engraving, created by a German artist in 1594, showcases these skilled professionals as they take sightings on both land and sea. In this image, we see a group of dedicated surveyors diligently working amidst an exterior backdrop that includes a towering structure. Their focus is unwavering as they utilize various geometric tools and apparatuses to measure and map out their surroundings. With precision and expertise, they meticulously record data that will contribute to our understanding of the world at that time. The maritime element adds another layer of intrigue to this scene. A small boat can be seen nearby, suggesting that these surveyors are not confined solely to land but also venture into uncharted waters for their work. This highlights the importance of accurate measurements for navigation purposes during an era when transportation relied heavily on maritime routes. The fine details captured in this engraving transport us back centuries ago, allowing us to appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship involved in early surveying practices. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and methodology while honoring the foundations laid by those who came before us.
