EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the 15th century, when exploration and adventure were at their peak. The focal point of the image is a print of Toscanelli's Map of World, a historical artifact that holds immense significance in our understanding of geographical locations during that era. The map itself is intriguingly unique, as it showcases Europe and India facing each other while omitting the Americas entirely. This deliberate exclusion sheds light on the limited knowledge Europeans possessed about these vast continents at the time. It serves as a reminder of how much we have discovered and learned since then. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to an age where maps and globes were not just tools for navigation but also symbols of curiosity and human ambition. They represented uncharted territories waiting to be explored, sparking a sense of wonder within those who dared venture into the unknown. In this photograph, history comes alive before our eyes. We can almost feel ourselves standing alongside early explorers as they embarked on perilous journeys across uncharted seas. It evokes a sense of awe for those brave souls who paved the way for future generations to discover new lands and expand our collective knowledge. This morning glimpse into history captivates both art enthusiasts and history buffs alike with its timeless appeal. As we admire this print from Kean Collection's extensive catalog, let us appreciate its ability to transport us through time while igniting our own spirit of adventure and discovery
