EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Italy about 1494; The Swiss Confederation, 1291-1513" takes us back in time to a pivotal period in European history. Created by William R. Shepherd, this colour lithograph is an illustration for his renowned Historical Atlas. The image showcases the intricate map of Italy during the year 1494, with a particular focus on the Swiss Confederation from 1291 to 1513. It offers a glimpse into the political and territorial landscape of that era, highlighting key regions such as Milanese and Visconti along with the Republic of Florence. But this artwork goes beyond mere cartography; it delves into mythology and religion as well. Mythological figures are scattered throughout the map, reminding us of Italy's rich pagan past and its polytheistic beliefs.
