1. Title: "Discovering the Uncharted: A 16th-Century Portuguese Miniature Map of the West African Coast and the Islands of Macaronesia" This exquisite miniature painting, created in 1514, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich maritime history of Portugal during the Age of Discoveries. The map, housed in the Maritime Museum of Lisbon, portrays the West African coast and the islands of Macaronesia, including the Canary Isles and Cape Verde. The intricate details of this illuminated map reveal the extensive knowledge Portugal had gained through centuries of exploration and navigation. The map's cartographic accuracy, with its careful depiction of coastlines, islands, and water depths, reflects the advanced cartographic techniques of the time. The islands of Macaronesia, a group of volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean, are shown with remarkable detail. The Canary Isles, located off the northwest coast of Africa, and Cape Verde, further south, are both labeled and illustrated with their distinctive shapes and geographical features. The African coastline is also depicted, with various African tribes and settlements noted along the shore. The map's border is adorned with intricate illustrations of ships, sea creatures, and exotic birds, reflecting the maritime culture and the spirit of exploration that characterized the Portuguese Age of Discoveries. This miniature painting serves as a testament to the Portuguese maritime prowess and their significant contributions to cartography during the 16th century. Its preservation in the Maritime Museum of Lisbon ensures that this important piece of history continues to inspire and educate future generations about the fascinating world of maritime exploration and discovery.
