EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Oval planisphere of the world, dating back to 1554 and created by Battista Agnese, showcases Magellan's historic track across the globe. The intricate details on this vellum print offer a glimpse into the cartographic expertise of the 16th century. Bound in an atlas alongside twenty-four other cartographic items, this piece is a true work of art that captures both historical significance and artistic beauty.
The vibrant colors used in this map bring to life the various regions and seas that Magellan navigated during his famous expedition. From Europe to Asia, Africa to the Americas, every corner of the world is meticulously depicted with precision and care. This map not only serves as a navigation tool but also as a visual representation of exploration and discovery during a time when much of the world was still unknown.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this Oval planisphere is a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity. It stands as a reminder of our collective journey towards understanding our planet and its vast oceans. As we gaze upon this piece of history, we are transported back in time to an era where maps were not just tools for navigation but also works of art that captured the imagination of all who beheld them.
