EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Development of the Mariners Astrolabe and the Discovery of America by Amerigo Vespucci" takes us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. Engraved by Jan Collaert around 1600, it beautifully captures an important scene from Nova Reperta (New Discoveries) by Jan van der Straet, also known as Giovanni Stradano. In this image, we see Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci uncovering the Southern Cross constellation with the help of an astrolabe. The four-pointed star shines brightly above him as he stands on a ship surrounded by sleeping sailors and soldiers. The night sky adds an air of mystery and adventure to this historic event. Vespucci's discovery of the Southern Cross symbolizes not only his navigational prowess but also his significant contribution to European exploration. As one of the first Europeans to recognize that South America was its own continent separate from Asia, Vespucci played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of geography during the Age of Discovery. This enchanting engraving invites us to reflect on the courage and curiosity that drove explorers like Amerigo Vespucci to venture into uncharted territories. It serves as a reminder that through their discoveries, these brave individuals expanded our knowledge and connected distant lands, forever changing the course of human history.
