EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of Ratzeburg from Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. Created in the 16th century, this engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the town of Ratzeburg, Germany during that era. The map offers an elevated view of Ratzeburg, capturing its townscape with intricate detail. The architecture is beautifully depicted, showcasing the unique structures that adorned the streets at that time. One prominent feature is a majestic church rising above the surrounding buildings, symbolizing both religious significance and architectural grandeur. The historical context becomes evident as we observe the surrounding wall encircling Ratzeburg. This fortification served to protect and defend the town against potential threats during this period in history. Through this artful illustration and painting technique employed by Braun and Hogenberg, viewers are transported back in time to experience Ratzeburg's physical geography as it was centuries ago. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on appreciating these historical elements without distraction. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene captured under daylight, we can't help but marvel at how far cartography has come since then. This extraordinary print not only serves as a testament to human ingenuity but also reminds us of our rich cultural heritage preserved through such artistic endeavors.
