EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable map from the 15th to 16th centuries, depicting the Pacific coast along present-day Ecuador and Peru. The intricate details of this historical artifact provide a glimpse into the past, offering insights into the geography and settlements of that era. The map highlights several significant villages including Quito, Cajamarca, Cuzco, and Lima. Each village is marked with precision, allowing us to visualize their locations along the stunning coastline. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to an otherwise ancient piece of cartography. What makes this particular map even more intriguing is its origin - it belongs to a private collection and was created by an unknown artist or cartographer. Despite its mysterious origins, it serves as a valuable resource for historians studying South American history. As we delve into this image's vertical composition, we are transported back in time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. It reminds us of Santiago Ortega's incredible journey through uncharted territories during his expeditions across America. While appreciating this photographical reproduction of such an extraordinary map, let us refrain from commercial use discussions as they do not pertain to the essence of preserving our rich heritage. Instead, let's focus on celebrating the beauty and significance encapsulated within this unique piece of history.
