EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century nautical map of the Atlantic Ocean takes us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. Created by Pascal Roiz in 1633, this historical portolan chart offers a detailed depiction of the vast Atlantic and its neighboring continents. Portolan charts were renowned for their navigational accuracy, providing sailors with realistic descriptions of harbors and coastlines. In addition to showcasing the Atlantic Ocean, this remarkable artwork also encompasses parts of the southeast Pacific Ocean, southwest Indian Ocean, South America, Africa, Europe, as well as fragments of North America and Asia. With intricate illustrations and meticulous attention to detail, Roiz's masterpiece transports us into a world where landmasses are beautifully rendered alongside expansive bodies of water. This artful representation serves not only as a testament to cartography but also as a window into our rich maritime history. As we explore this ancient map's contours and study its geographical features—tracing trade routes or imagining daring voyages—we gain insight into the knowledge available during that period. It reminds us how far we have come in understanding our planet while honoring those intrepid explorers who braved uncharted waters centuries ago. Through Science Photo Library's print reproduction of this magnificent piece from their collection—not intended for commercial use—we can appreciate both the artistic beauty and scientific significance encapsulated within this 17th-century treasure.
