Map of Magellans round the world voyage, 1519-1521
Map of Magellans round the world voyage, 1519-1521. A Portuguese-born navigator sponsored by Spain, Ferdinand Magellan (c1480-1521) led the expedition that made the first circumnavigation of the globe. This Mercator projection map shows the route taken, which included the first passage through the straits at the southern tip of South America that bear Magellans name. Magellan did not himself complete the voyage, as he was killed in the Philippines in a clash with natives. Of the five ships that set out from Spain in 1519, only one, the Victoria, commanded by Juan de Elcano, returned safely. From the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map of Ferdinand Magellan's groundbreaking voyage around the world from 1519 to 1521. As a Portuguese-born navigator sponsored by Spain, Magellan led an expedition that achieved the remarkable feat of circumnavigating the globe for the first time in history. The Mercator projection map vividly depicts the route taken by Magellan and his crew, highlighting their monumental achievement of being the first to navigate through the straits at the southern tip of South America, now known as Magellan's Straits. Tragically, Magellan himself did not witness the completion of this momentous journey as he lost his life during a clash with natives in the Philippines. Despite this setback, one ship out of five that departed from Spain in 1519 managed to return safely. Commanded by Juan de Elcano, the Victoria became a symbol of triumph and resilience. This beautifully detailed print is sourced from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and provides an intriguing glimpse into early cartography and exploration. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to conquer new frontiers during this era of discovery. The vibrant colors on this sixteenth-century map capture both our fascination with geography and our admiration for those pioneers who dared to venture into uncharted territories.
