EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling harbor of Lisbon in the 17th century. The image, a hand-colored woodcut reproduction from DeBry's original illustration, showcases the vibrant maritime activity that defined this historic Portuguese city during its golden age. In this snapshot of history, we witness a myriad of ships gracefully navigating the Atlantic Ocean waters. Each vessel represents a story waiting to be told - merchants seeking new trade routes, sailors embarking on daring explorations, and adventurers yearning for distant lands. Lisbon's harbor is teeming with life as boats dock at the wharf and busy sailors unload precious cargo. This thriving hub of commerce served as a gateway to Europe for exotic goods brought from far-flung corners of the world through Portugal's extensive spice trade network. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as these majestic sailing ships prepare for their next voyage. It transports us back to an era when exploration was at its peak and Lisbon stood proudly as one of Europe's most important sea ports. As we admire this vintage artwork, we are reminded not only of Lisbon's rich history but also humanity's relentless quest for discovery and adventure. This remarkable piece captures both the beauty and significance of maritime trade in the 16th century, forever etching it into our collective memory.
