This print showcases the Bering Strait Map of 1593, created by Cornelis de Jode. The map provides a fascinating glimpse into Western North America during the Age of Discovery. It vividly depicts the mythical province of Quivira in California and highlights the significant Bering Strait, also known as El Streto de Anian. The intricately detailed artwork features two awe-inspiring sea monsters lurking in the vast ocean waters, adding an element of mystery and adventure to this historical representation. Additionally, two European sailing ships gracefully navigate through these uncharted territories alongside a grand Oriental sailing galley. As we delve into this remarkable piece, it becomes evident that it is not merely a geographical depiction but rather a testament to human curiosity and exploration. The map serves as a visual record of early attempts to understand and conquer new lands.

This detail further emphasizes how maps were often influenced by folklore and tales from distant lands. Overall, this exquisite print offers viewers an opportunity to travel back in time and witness the evolving understanding of Western North America's topography during one of history's most exciting periods – an era when intrepid explorers set sail towards unknown horizons in search of discovery and riches beyond their wildest dreams.
