EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and historically significant "Map of the known world, from Geographia" by Ptolemy. Crafted on vellum, this ancient manuscript is a testament to the brilliance of Claudius Ptolemaeus of Alexandria, a renowned Greek geographer who lived between 90-168 AD. The map itself is an awe-inspiring representation of the medieval world as understood during Ptolemy's time. It offers a glimpse into how people perceived geography in that era and serves as a valuable artifact for historians and cartographers alike. Housed in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, Italy, this remarkable piece has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details. The delicate craftsmanship evident in every stroke speaks volumes about the dedication and precision required to create such an extraordinary work.
