EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a map created by two renowned cartographers, Nicolas Sanson and Petrus Schenk. The map, dating back to the 17th century, is a remarkable example of their combined expertise in geography and artistry. Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) was a highly esteemed French cartographer known for his accurate depictions of geographical features. His meticulous attention to detail can be seen in this masterpiece as every contour and landmark is intricately illustrated. Petrus Schenk (1660-1718/9), a Dutch engraver, skillfully transformed Sanson's original work into this stunning copperplate print. The delicate lines etched onto the metal plate bring out the richness and depth of the map, adding an element of elegance to its overall presentation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an era when maps were not just navigational tools but also works of art. This particular piece serves as a testament to the dedication and passion these cartographers had for their craft. Whether you are an avid collector or simply appreciate fine art, this print offers a glimpse into centuries past while celebrating the ingenuity and talent behind its creation. It is truly a treasure that encapsulates both history and beauty within its intricate details.
