EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tabula Magellanica, Quatierrae del Fuego, plate 18 from Le Nouveau et Grand Illuminant Flambeau de la Mer by Claes Jansz. Vooght, published in Amsterdam in 1683. The hand-coloured engraving measures 40.8x52.1 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art, thanks to the generous contribution of the Paul Mellon Fund. The image takes us on a visual journey through time and space as we explore the intricate details of this historic map. It depicts the famous Magellan Straits and Tierra del Fuego region, capturing its geographical features with remarkable precision. As our eyes wander across the print, we are transported to Cape Horn, standing at the southernmost tip of South America where two great oceans meet: the vast Pacific Ocean on one side and the mighty Atlantic on another. This extraordinary piece not only serves as a testament to Claes Jansz. Vooght's cartographic expertise but also offers invaluable insights into early European exploration of these uncharted territories. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity to discover new lands and navigate unexplored waters—a timeless pursuit that continues to shape our understanding of our planet today.
