EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of Cathay, China. Created for Charles V, King of France, and attributed to Abraham and Jafuda Cresques Maiorca around 1375, this map is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. The Map of Cathay is part of the Catalan Atlas, which can be found in Paris at the National Library of France. It offers a fascinating glimpse into 14th-century geography and topography, depicting the vast continent with intricate detail. The vertical orientation adds an element of uniqueness to this masterpiece. One cannot help but marvel at how Abraham and Jafuda Cresques brought this ancient land to life through their illustration and painting techniques. With no human representation present on the map, it allows us to focus solely on its features - from coastlines that hug majestic peninsulas to wind roses indicating directions. As we explore every inch of this print, we are transported back in time when maps were not just tools for navigation but also works of art. The craftsmanship displayed here reflects both technical accuracy and artistic expression. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people had an insatiable curiosity about distant lands like Cathay (China). It invites us to appreciate the rich history behind cartography while igniting our own sense of wanderlust for exploration beyond borders.
