EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Passport card of the Eastern Mediterranean, specifically focusing on Cyprus. The intricate details of this historical document are truly remarkable. The title "Passport card Eastern Mediterranean Cyprus" is prominently displayed at the top right corner, accompanied by an enchanting illustration featuring a horseman, a young faun, and two figures engaged in merriment over drinks. The central portion of the print reveals the publisher's address and a scale depicted in German, Spanish, and English or French miles. Two compass roses indicate that the North direction is on the left side. The scale provided suggests that this passport card represents a vast area with a ratio of approximately 1:1,200,000. Throughout the image, various mythical creatures such as satyrs, fauns, and Sileni can be observed riding horses or other animals like asses or mules. These fantastical beings add an element of whimsy to the overall composition. Created between 1682 and 1803 in Amsterdam (although Jan Luyken's attribution has been rejected), this paper etching measures approximately 512mm in height and 591mm in width. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into both historical documentation practices and artistic expression from centuries past.
