EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bristol - Great Britain" takes us back in time to the 16th century. Created by Franz Hogenberg, a renowned Netherlandish artist, this print showcases the city of Bristol as it appeared between 1572 and 1617. The intricate details of this engraving transport us to Brightstowe (Bristol), a bustling British town during that era. The drawing within the print depicts William Smith, a prominent cartographer from 1568. This particular artwork is part of volume III of "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" an atlas book published by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg in 1581. As we explore this historical gem, our eyes are drawn to various elements: the majestic church standing tall amidst the city's landscape, the flowing river that adds life and movement to Bristol's streets, and even glimpses of fortified buildings hinting at its defensive structures. The inclusion of coats of arms and blazons further emphasizes Bristol's significance during this period. It serves as a reminder that cities like Bristol played crucial roles in shaping British history. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures all these intricate details through her reproduction of Hogenberg's work. Through her lens as an artist, she brings forth not just a geographical map but also a vivid portrayal of life in one corner of Great Britain centuries ago. This remarkable piece allows us to reflect on how much has changed over time while appreciating the
