Despite being considered a lesser colonial power in the 16th and 17th centuries, the influence and global reach of Venice\u2019s printing press helped construct overarching ideas about European authority in the New World. By compiling images and descriptions of faraway lands and peoples into readily-accessible printed materials, Vecellio\u2019s work was broadly characteristic of these attempts to map, know, and ultimately craft a uniquely Venetian narrative about the expanding world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holly K.
