EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical etching from 1671, titled "Map of the Duche of Gelderland and the Count of Zutphen (Germany)" by Frederick de Wit. The intricate details and precision in this map transport us back to a time when cartography was both an art form and a scientific endeavor. The etching depicts the Duchy of Gelderland and the County of Zutphen, two regions located in present-day Germany. It is extracted from "Theatrum Orbis" a renowned atlas book published by De Wit himself. With strong water extraction techniques, De Wit masterfully captures the geography and topography of these territories. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded of how maps were not only practical tools for navigation but also works that conveyed power dynamics between different regions. The borders meticulously outlined on this map symbolize political boundaries during that era. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every minute detail within this engraving. Through her lens, we can observe the delicate lines and shading that bring life to rivers, mountains, cities, and forests depicted on this historic map. This print serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance. It invites us to explore the past through cartographic artistry while appreciating its aesthetic beauty.
