EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving from 1596 by Gerardus Mercator, titled "Denmark (the Island Langeland with Odense)". The image captures the essence of Denmark's rich history and geographical beauty. The engraving is part of the renowned "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" by Gerard Mercator, a Flemish cartographer who made significant contributions to the field of geography. This particular piece depicts Fionia, also known as Funen, in 1606. Langeland, an enchanting island off the coast of Denmark, takes center stage in this artwork. Its idyllic landscapes and serene atmosphere are beautifully portrayed through Mercator's intricate engravings. The city of Odense can be seen nestled on this picturesque island, adding to its allure. This historic map provides valuable insights into the Nordic countries' geography during that era. It serves as a testament to Mercator's skillful craftsmanship and dedication to accurately representing the world around him. Preserved in a private collection and brought to life through Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography skills, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and Denmark's natural splendor. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported back in time while marveling at the timeless beauty captured within its lines.
