EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1665, showcasing a beautifully detailed map of East Africa. The focus lies on Ethiopia, also known as the kingdom of Prester John, and Abyssinia, surrounded by the Arabian Peninsula. Printed in Amsterdam by Jan Blaeu for his renowned Atlas Maior, this piece is a true testament to the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. The image transports us to an age when exploration was at its peak, with Dutch sailors venturing into uncharted territories across distant seas. The sun shines brightly overhead as it illuminates the vast coastline stretching from Mozambique to Saudi Arabia. A family stands proudly beside their parasol, dressed in traditional African attire adorned with turbans. Engraved with intricate details and delicate lines, this map offers a glimpse into the cultural richness of East Africa during that time period. It features rivers meandering through lush landscapes while ships sail along the Indian Ocean and Red Sea trade routes. Intriguingly placed within a decorative cartouche are portraits of Johann Janszoon Blaeu himself alongside an Ethiopian man and woman – perhaps representing local inhabitants encountered during his travels. This inclusion adds depth and humanity to an otherwise technical representation. Overall, this print captures not only historical significance but also evokes a sense of wonderment about our world's past explorations and connections between different cultures.
