EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history: the "Map of the German Netherlands, 1570" by Abraham Ortelius. The engraving, now housed in the Museo Navale di Pegli in Genoa, Italy, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and territories of this region during the late 16th century. Ortelius, a renowned cartographer from Flanders, meticulously crafted this map as part of his famous work "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". With intricate details and precision, he presents Gelriae and Cliviae alongside other neighboring locations in what is now known as Belgium and parts of Germany. Christiano Schrot is credited as an author for providing accurate descriptions. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography captures every nuance of this historical treasure. The image allows us to appreciate not only Ortelius' artistry but also the significance of maps during that era. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. This print serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to understand our world better. It reminds us that even centuries later, these ancient maps continue to captivate our imagination and provide valuable insights into our past.
