EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving from 1688, titled "Map of the northern Mexican archipelago and the West Indies". Created by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, an esteemed Italian cartographer, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography of Central America during the seventeenth century. The intricately detailed cartouche steals the spotlight with its elaborate embellishments depicting plants, animals, and natives indigenous to the region. Published in Paris in 1688, this masterpiece is a testament to Coronelli's exceptional skill and artistry. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical artwork, allowing us to envision what these lands may have looked like centuries ago. From Cuba and Jamaica to Haiti and beyond, each island is meticulously depicted within this enchanting composition. As we explore every inch of this map's coastal lines and contours, we are transported back in time to an era when European explorers were just beginning their journeys across uncharted territories. It serves as a reminder of how far our understanding of geography has come since then. Preserved through Vadim Nekrasov's lens, this print captures not only a work of art but also a valuable piece of history. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty inherent in maps as well as their significance in shaping our understanding of different cultures and landscapes throughout time.
