This print showcases a historical map titled "Map of South America where the Plata River is seen, 1530 - 1535, Table 22 from the Atlas Mediceo". Created in the 16th century and currently housed in the Archivio di Stato in Florence, Italy, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The map itself is a vibrant display of colors and intricate details that depict South America during this time period. The focus lies on the Plata River, which meanders through various regions with remarkable accuracy considering its age. It serves as an essential geographical feature connecting different parts of the continent. Attributed to Santiago Ortega, although it remains unknown for certain, this map represents an important contribution to cartography and our understanding of South American history. Its horizontal orientation allows viewers to explore every corner of this vast landmass. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images, it's crucial to appreciate its historical significance rather than any commercial use it may have had. This photograph invites us to delve into centuries-old stories and marvel at how far our knowledge has come since then. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and exploration while reminding us of the rich cultural heritage preserved within archival collections like those found at Archivio di Stato in Florence.
