UITVERKOCHT, NIET MEER LEVERBAAR
Among humanity’s oldest written communications, maps document the histories, and reflect the sensibilities, of the cultures that produced them. Inspired by voyages of discovery and aided by advances in the technology of printing and engraving, the European maps of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are extravagantly rich in historical detail, as the twelve images in this calendar attest. Evidence of an expanding and ever more sophisticated worldview, they are often amazingly accurate. The maps presented here are from the collections of The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in Southern California.
