EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Andrea Bianco's Atlas from 1436, specifically Page 10 featuring a World Map. What makes this map unique is that it depicts the East on the upper side, challenging traditional cartographic conventions of its time. One striking feature of this map is the depiction of the Florida coast as a large peninsula linked to an island called Antillia or "ilha das Sete Cidades" in Portuguese. This island holds legendary status and adds an air of mystery to Bianco's work. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this miniature painting highlight the skill and artistry involved in creating such maps during the Renaissance period. The level of precision and attention to geographical accuracy is truly remarkable. Housed within Italy's Biblioteca nazionale marciana (St. Marks Library) in Venice, this particular page from Andrea Bianco's Atlas offers a glimpse into historical cartography at its finest. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity about our world and our desire to document and understand it. As we admire this photo print, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of mapping technology and knowledge since 1436. Yet, there is still something enchanting about these early maps that continue to captivate us with their beauty and intrigue.
