EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant city of Cadiz, Spain, capturing its rich history and bustling industries. The upper part of the image features the picturesque chapel of St Sebastian, a symbol of religious devotion in this noble and loyal city. Its architectural beauty stands tall against the clear blue sky. In contrast, the lower section highlights Cadiz's tuna-fishing industry, which has been an integral part of its economy for centuries. The print depicts how these prized fish are caught, cooked, packed, and even how waste is incinerated. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate processes that sustain this vital trade. At the center of attention are watchtowers that dot the landscape. These structures served as lookout points to protect Cadiz from potential threats during medieval times. Their presence adds a touch of historical significance to this already mesmerizing scene. The engraving was created by Hogenberg in 1598 based on drawings by Georgius Houfnaglius (Joris Hoefnagel or Georg Hufnagel). It is part of volume V from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" an atlas book published between 1572 and 1617 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully brings out all these elements through her lens, offering viewers a window into Cadiz's past while showcasing its enduring charm.
