EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century, specifically the Map of Rouen, Nimes, and Bordeaux. Created by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Franz Hogenberg (1540-1590), this engraving is part of their renowned work called Civitates Orbis Terrarum. The intricate details and precision in this map offer a glimpse into the historical significance of these French towns during that era. The studio shot captures every stroke and line on the manuscript with utmost clarity. As we explore this horizontal landscape, we are transported back in time to witness the physical geography of Rouen, Nimes, and Bordeaux. The rolling landscape depicted here reveals an elevated view that beautifully illustrates the natural beauty surrounding these towns. Notably absent from this artwork are any human figures; instead, our attention is drawn to the meandering river that gracefully winds its way through these regions. This composition allows us to focus solely on appreciating the artistry behind this illustration while also contemplating France's rich history. With its impeccable craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, it is evident why this engraving has stood the test of time as a significant contribution to cartography.
