EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "WORLD MAP, 1641". Engraved by the talented cartographer Henricus Hondius in the year 1641, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into how people perceived and understood the world during the Baroque period. The intricately detailed engraving depicts both the eastern and western hemispheres, providing an invaluable snapshot of global geography from that era. It is evident that Hondius poured his expertise into every inch of this masterpiece, as he meticulously captured various continents, countries, oceans, and even smaller islands with utmost precision. As we gaze upon this vintage map, it becomes apparent just how much our understanding of Earth has evolved over time.
