EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully detailed map of the Island of Candia, also known as Crete, with a focus on the bustling sea port of Herakleion. Created by Frederick de Wit in 1680, this coloured engraving measures 46.5x55.5 cm and is currently housed at the O Shea Gallery in London, UK. The map transports us back in time to explore the rich history and geography of this Mediterranean gem. With intricate lines and vibrant colors, it offers a glimpse into the past when cartography was both an art form and a scientific endeavor. Herakleion takes center stage in this depiction, showcasing its strategic location along the coast. The city's importance as a major trading hub is evident through its well-drawn harbor filled with ships ready to set sail across the Mediterranean Sea. As we study this historical artifact, we can't help but imagine what life was like during that era - merchants haggling over goods at bustling markets, sailors preparing their vessels for long voyages, and locals going about their daily lives against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty. This print serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also as a valuable historical document that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate the significance of places like Herakleion within Greece's cultural heritage.
