EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Map of Europe from a facsimile of the 'Miller Atlas' by Pedro and Jorge Reinel, and Lopo Homem, created in 1519. The original map is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this ancient cartographic masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. Crafted by Portuguese cartographers Pedro Reinel, his son Jorge Reinel, and Lopo Homem during the 16th century, it offers a fascinating glimpse into how Europeans perceived their continent over five centuries ago. As we explore this stunning artwork, our eyes are drawn to various regions depicted on the map. From Germany's majestic castles to the United Kingdom's iconic landmarks like Big Ben and Stonehenge, every corner tells its own story. The rich history of Britain is beautifully represented with references to Great Britain as well as Ireland. Scandinavia also finds its place on this historic map - an area known for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture. As we trace our fingers along the Atlantic coastline portrayed on this artwork, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since 1519. This print not only captures an extraordinary work of art but also serves as a reminder that maps have always been powerful tools for exploration and understanding our world. It invites us to reflect upon how far we've come while appreciating the enduring beauty found within these historical treasures.
