EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to New England in 1660, as depicted by the renowned cartographer Joan Blaeu. The unique aspect of this map lies in its orientation, with the north positioned at the bottom and the south at the top, challenging our perception of direction. A product of meticulous engraving and monochrome artistry, this historical piece offers a glimpse into the early days of colonisation in America. The intricate details on this map showcase not only geographical features but also elements that define life during that era. Amongst rolling hills and winding rivers, we can spot various animals roaming freely across New England's vast wilderness. A majestic deer stands out amidst its surroundings, symbolizing both nature's abundance and man's harmonious coexistence with it. As we delve further into this image, it becomes evident that every line drawn represents more than just land boundaries; they embody stories of exploration and discovery. This print is a testament to the tireless efforts made by individuals like Edmund Ollier to document America's rich history. Preserved through time, this black-and-white masterpiece serves as a reminder of how far our nation has come since those early colonial days. It invites us to reflect upon our roots while appreciating the progress made over centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable work from The Print Collector collection, let us be inspired by those who came before us and continue building upon their legacy for generations to come.
