EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable map created by Pierre Duval, a renowned French cartographer of the 17th century. Published in 1686 in Paris, this color engraving provides an invaluable insight into the world trade shipping routes during that era. Titled "Map showing the world trade shipping routes". Duval's masterpiece was aptly referred to as "la carte universelle pour le commerce" or "the universal map for commerce". As the official geographer of King Louis XIV of France, Duval meticulously charted out the navigation routes for both the East and West Indies, enabling seamless trading between continents. The intricately detailed map highlights various geographical features such as Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. It serves as a testament to the significant role played by these four continents in global economics and commercial activities at that time. With its depiction of numerous ports along these trade routes, this historic artifact offers valuable insights into how goods were transported across vast distances centuries ago. The exquisite engravings capture the essence of maritime industry and mapping techniques prevalent during Duval's time. Now preserved in a private collection, this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to marvel at not only Duval's skillful craftsmanship but also his contribution to our understanding of global trade history.
