EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map of South America" engraved by Willem Blaeu in 1635. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this engraving are beautifully captured in this image, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry and historical significance it holds. Originally featured in Blaeu's renowned atlas, "Theatrum orbis Terrarum, sive Atlas Novus" this map offers a glimpse into how South America was perceived during the 17th century. It provides an invaluable record of geographical knowledge at that time, depicting various regions, rivers, mountains, and settlements across the continent. Displayed at the Museo Navale di Pegli in Genoa, Italy, this particular print is a testament to both Blaeu's expertise as a cartographer and Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography. Through her lens, every delicate line and carefully etched detail comes to life with stunning clarity. As we admire this extraordinary artwork from centuries past, let us marvel at how far our understanding of South America has evolved since then. This map serves as a reminder of our continuous quest for knowledge about our world - an eternal fascination that transcends time itself.
