EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of the "Map of Franconia in Germany with the city of Frankfurt" dating back to 1570. Created by Abraham Ortelius, a renowned Flemish cartographer, this map is an exquisite representation of the region's geography during that era. The intricate details and precision displayed in this engraving are truly awe-inspiring. From the winding rivers to the lush forests and sprawling cities, every element has been meticulously captured. The focal point, Frankfurt, stands out prominently with its distinctive architecture and bustling streets. Ortelius' work was part of his famous atlas book called "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which revolutionized cartography at the time. This particular map offers not only a geographical overview but also historical insights into Franconia's significance within Germany. Displayed at Museo Navale di Pegli in Genoa, Italy, this print allows us to appreciate Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography as she captures every minute detail of Ortelius' masterpiece. With her lens capturing each stroke and line on paper, we can almost feel transported back to 16th-century Germany. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry from centuries ago, it serves as a reminder of how maps have always played a crucial role in understanding our world's history and evolution.
