EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a historic passport card dating back to the late 17th century. The image features an intricately detailed map of the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean, encompassing the coasts of Africa and Brazil as well as the enchanting Cape Verde islands. Crafted by Jan Luyken between 1683 and 1799, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into a time when exploration and navigation were at their peak. The passport card itself is a testament to human curiosity and ambition, serving as both a travel document and an emblem of identity during that era. Its delicate design reveals Luyken's exceptional skill in cartography, with every contour meticulously drawn to depict geographical accuracy. As we gaze upon this vintage artifact, we are transported back in time to an age where maritime adventures were paramount. The juxtaposition of Africa's vast coastline against Brazil's sprawling shores evokes thoughts of cultural exchange and trade routes that once connected these distant lands. Meanwhile, the inclusion of Cape Verde islands adds an element of mystique to this composition – tiny dots amidst endless blue waters. This print not only captures history frozen in time but also invites us to ponder our place within it. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans sought connection beyond borders through exploration – just like we do today.
