EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map of South East Asia, 1687". Created by the French School in the 17th century, this ink on paper masterpiece offers a glimpse into the intricate mapping techniques employed during that era. The map itself is an exquisite blend of artistry and scientific precision. It depicts various regions including Indonesia, Cambodia, and Sumatra with meticulous attention to detail. The use of grids and scales further highlights its accuracy and functionality as a navigational tool. One cannot help but be drawn to the illustration of an elephant prominently featured on this map. Symbolizing strength, wisdom, and cultural significance in Southeast Asia, it serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven throughout this diverse region. As we explore this historical artifact through Luca Tettoni's lens, we are transported back in time to an era when colonial powers were vying for control over these lands. This map not only reflects their ambitions but also provides valuable insights into indigenous cultures and landscapes. Bridgeman Images has once again captured a momentous piece from our past with finesse. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty inherent in cartography and its invaluable role in shaping our understanding of geographical boundaries centuries ago.
