EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elliptical Genoese map of 1457, a significant source material for Toscanelli during the Renaissance era. The intricate details on this ancient map primarily focus on the Mediterranean Sea, providing an invaluable glimpse into historical navigation and exploration.
