EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical map titled "MAP: AFRICA, ARABIA, INDIA". Dating back to 1547 and sourced from the renowned Vallard Atlas, this map provides a unique perspective on North and East Africa, Arabia, and part of India. Interestingly, the cartographer chose to depict the map upside-down as if viewed from Europe.

This mythical ruler adds an element of intrigue and mystery to an already fascinating piece. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to explore not only geographical aspects but also cultural connections between these regions during the Renaissance period. The visual representation includes significant landmarks such as coastlines, rivers, and topographical features that were crucial for navigation during that era. It offers a glimpse into how explorers perceived these territories centuries ago.
