EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully detailed "Map of Tunis" from the renowned Civitates Orbis Terrarum collection by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. Created in 1574, this coloured engraving offers an aerial view of the vibrant city of Tunis, nestled along the picturesque coastline of Tunisia. The map transports us back in time to an era when Turkish fleets dominated these waters, their ships gracefully sailing across the azure blue sea. The bustling cityscape is depicted with intricate precision, displaying its architectural marvels and winding streets that lead to hidden treasures within its walls. Intriguingly, a tented camp can be seen on the outskirts of Tunis, hinting at a nomadic presence amidst this urban landscape. Adjacent to it lies a serene lake reflecting the golden hues of sunset, adding an ethereal touch to this remarkable composition. As we explore every inch of this engraving's fine details, we are reminded that maps have always been our gateway to understanding and navigating unknown territories. This particular piece not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to human curiosity and exploration. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world like The Stapleton Collection, Joris Hoefnagel's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate both his artistic skill and his dedication to preserving geographical knowledge for generations to come.
