Through this new collaboration with the BNF, Inoui Editions illustrates its taste for the imaginary with a poetic plunge into the work of Oronce Fine and his heart-shaped world map. This cartographic projection with its whimsical geography reflects the uncertainties and hypotheses of the time: North America is still assimilated to a part of Asia, and a vast Terra Australis, a continent imagined to balance the globe, has been drawn in the southern hemisphere. The famous cordial engraving by 16th-century French cartographer Oronce Fine is reinterpreted here to wrap around the neck, refreshed by a bandana border.
