EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut print titled "MARINERS SIGHTING, 1557" takes us back to the Age of Exploration. In this intricate scene, we witness mariners navigating the vast ocean on a sailing ship. The sailors are diligently observing their surroundings using various tools of the time. On the left side of the print, a sailor holds a cross-staff, an essential instrument for measuring angles between celestial objects and the horizon. With his eyes fixed on a distant star, he skillfully determines their position in relation to it. Meanwhile, another sailor can be seen using an astrolabe to observe and measure the sun's altitude. This ancient device was crucial for determining latitude at sea by measuring celestial bodies' positions. This German woodcut from 1557 beautifully captures both the maritime journey and technological advancements of that era. The detailed depiction showcases rigging and masts towering over fish-filled waters as sailors navigate through uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness these brave explorers charting new courses across unknown oceans. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge during the Renaissance period.
