EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of South-West England, created by the renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1596. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship transport us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The engraving depicts various regions including Cornubia, Devonia, Somersetus, Dorcestria, Wiltonia, Glocestria, Monumentha, Glamorgan, Caermanden, Penbrok, Cardigan, Radnor, Breknoke Herefordia and Wigornia. Each area is meticulously illustrated with precision and accuracy. Mercator's work was part of his famous "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" which served as an invaluable resource for geographers and explorers during the 16th century. This particular print captures the essence of South-West England's geographical beauty with its rolling hillsides and picturesque landscapes. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this historical masterpiece through her lens.
