EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century. Created by Theodore de Bry in 1563, this Map of Florida and Cuba is a true testament to the artistry and precision of early mapmaking. The print captures the intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this historical artifact to life. The map depicts both Florida and Cuba, two significant landmasses during this period. With its carefully drawn coastlines, peninsula formations, and even a sailing boat gracefully gliding through the sea, it offers a glimpse into the past when exploration was at its peak. One cannot help but be fascinated by the inclusion of various elements such as animal representations scattered across the map's surface. These artistic touches add an extra layer of intrigue to an already captivating piece. The presence of a compass rose further emphasizes the importance placed on navigation during this era. It serves as a reminder that maps like these were not only beautiful works of art but also practical tools for those venturing into uncharted territories. With no people present in this studio shot photograph, our focus is solely on appreciating the craftsmanship behind De Bry's creation. This stunning image transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at how far we have come in terms of understanding physical geography and mapping techniques
