EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Australia circa 1760, showcasing a Mercator Projection map from the renowned Atlas De Toutes Les Parties Connues Du Globe Terrestre by cartographer Rigobert Bonne. Published in Geneva during the same period, this exquisite piece of cartography offers a glimpse into the historical significance and artistry of map-making in the eighteenth century. The intricate details on this map highlight various regions including New Holland (now known as Australia), Tasmania (formerly Van Diemen's Land), and other significant areas. The Mercator Projection used here allows for accurate representation of landmasses, making it an invaluable tool for explorers and navigators during that era. As we admire this remarkable print, we are transported to a time when exploration was at its peak, and discoveries were being made across uncharted territories. It serves as a reminder of how far our understanding of geography has come since then. Ken Welsh's expertise shines through in capturing every nuance and detail of this historical artifact. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the scientific value but also the artistic beauty inherent in these early maps. This print is truly a testament to both human curiosity and ingenuity throughout history.
