EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "America sive India Nova" from the Atlas cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi et fabricati figura, published in 1595. The colored engraving, created by Michael Mercator, Gerard Mercator's grandson, is a remarkable piece of cartographic art that offers a glimpse into the world as it was perceived during the Renaissance. The map depicts the vastness and diversity of the American continent, stretching from the Arctic to Antarctica. It highlights important landmarks such as New Guinea and various oceans including the Pacific and Atlantic. With intricate details and precise craftsmanship, this engraving provides an invaluable historical record of how early explorers understood and mapped out these uncharted territories. Displayed in Biblioteca Universidad in Barcelona, Spain, this particular print holds immense cultural significance. It represents not only a collaboration between two generations of talented Flemish cartographers but also serves as a testament to humanity's relentless curiosity about our planet. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of how far our understanding has evolved since its creation over four centuries ago. Yet it also reminds us that there is still much left to explore and discover on our ever-changing Earth. This print invites us to appreciate both the beauty of ancient maps and their enduring relevance in shaping our perception of history.
