This engraving, titled "Cambrai, France, 1596" takes us back in time to the historic city of Cambrai. Created by Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617 as part of the renowned "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" atlas book, this print offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty and geographical layout of the region. The scene showcases a picturesque view of Cambrai's landscape, with its majestic castle standing proudly on one side. The intricate details captured by Hogenberg highlight the fortifications surrounding the city, emphasizing its strategic importance during that era. In addition to the castle's grandeur, our eyes are drawn to an impressive cathedral that dominates the skyline.
