EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 19th century copy of the nautical planisphere by Juan de la Cosa, dating back to around 1500. The image focuses on Europe, revealing intricate details of its topography and direction. With text and maps guiding the way, this historical artifact provides a glimpse into the architecture, landscape, and travel routes of that era. The photograph captures an aerial view of Europe from centuries ago, offering us a window into history. Its horizontal composition allows for a comprehensive understanding of physical geography and cartography during the 16th century. The presence of only men in the illustration suggests the prevailing gender dynamics at that time. Amidst this non-urban scene lies a majestic river winding through the land, adding to both its beauty and navigational significance. This artful depiction highlights not only built structures but also navigational equipment used by sailors during their voyages across these waters. As we delve into this piece's rich past, it becomes evident that it holds immense value for those interested in royalty or studying European history. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while appreciating our ancestors' knowledge and craftsmanship
