EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Navigating Expert at Work in His Study with Globe and Compass, c1591, (1928)" takes us back to a time of exploration and discovery. The image showcases a learned man immersed in his study, surrounded by an array of fascinating objects that reflect his passion for navigation. The room is filled with shelves holding books and curiosities, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a cabinet of curiosities. In the center stands a large globe, symbolizing the vastness of the world waiting to be explored. Beside it lies a compass, the essential tool for any navigator seeking direction on their journeys. The man himself exudes an air of knowledge and expertise as he carefully examines a model ship resting on his desk. His loyal companion, a dog faithfully seated beside him, adds warmth to this scene steeped in history. This engraving after Joannes Stradanus captures both the spirit of adventure prevalent during the 16th century and pays homage to its significance even in the 20th century when it was published. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements over time, there will always be individuals dedicated to unraveling mysteries through science and exploration. This remarkable piece from "Life and Work of the People of England" by Dorothy Hartley and MM Elliot transports us into an era where navigational devices were still being invented while celebrating those who paved the way for future discoveries.
