EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sea chart of the coast of Congo and Angola, created by Jan Luyken and Johannes van Keulen (I) in the late 17th century. The intricate details on this map transport us back to an era when cartography was both an art form and a vital tool for exploration. The image depicts two men engrossed in conversation as they study the sea chart with great intensity. Their focused gazes are fixed upon the compass roses, indicating cardinal directions, while their hands hold compasses to navigate through uncharted waters. Armed with arrows, these men symbolize the bravery required to venture into unknown territories. Intriguingly, a merman is depicted swimming alongside them, representing mythical creatures that were often associated with unexplored regions of the world during that time period. This inclusion adds an element of mystery and wonder to this already fascinating piece. The map itself reveals detailed coastal features of Congo and Angola, providing valuable geographical knowledge for sailors and explorers alike. French miles are marked along its edges as units of measurement. Quint Lox's skillful photography captures not only the historical significance but also the beauty inherent in this antique sea chart. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with maps as windows into our past adventures and future possibilities.
