EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Terrestrial Globe, a remarkable creation made in Nuremberg in 1492 by Martin Behaim. Housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this globe is an exquisite example of early cartography. Crafted by Behaim upon his return from West Africa, this globe represents a significant milestone in mapmaking history. However, one notable absence on this masterpiece is the continent of America. Despite its omission, this globe remains an invaluable artifact and the first modern terrestrial globe ever created. The photograph captures not only the intricate details of the globe itself but also its elegant pedestal. The viewer can appreciate how every inch of space on this spherical canvas was meticulously adorned with geographical features and place names. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the Indian Ocean and Indonesia depicted on the surface of the globe. These regions serve as reminders of both historical trade routes and cultural exchange that took place during that era. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's collection by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back to a time when exploration and discovery were paramount. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about our world and reminds us of how far we have come in understanding our planet's vastness since 1492.
