EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and intriguing replica of the "Typus Cosmographicus Universalis" or "Universal Representative of All Things Cosmographic," published by Sebastian Munster in Basel, Switzerland in 1532, with a later reproduction in 1889. The creator of this particular print remains unknown, but it is believed to be a woodcut on cream laid paper, executed in black and white. The map, a significant historical artifact, is a world map that was influential during the 16th and 19th centuries. It is an essential representation of geographical knowledge during that era, showcasing the world as it was understood at the time. The map is adorned with various illustrations, including depictions of continents, islands, and notable landmarks. The map bears the influence of Hans Holbein the Younger, a renowned German artist, whose style is evident in the meticulous detail and precise execution of the woodcut. Holbein's influence is particularly noticeable in the depiction of the Americas, which is believed to be based on the accounts of explorers like Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Ponce de Leon. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the past, offering a glimpse into the worldview of the 16th century. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, art centre, art gallery, or art institute, and is a must-see for anyone with an interest in history, geography, or the evolution of cartography.
