EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing a perspective map of Costantinople. The image is housed in the esteemed Civica Raccolta Delle Stampe Achille Bertarelli library in Milan, Italy. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the art of cartography during this era. The map depicts the vibrant city of Istanbul, known as Costantinople at that time. Its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship transport us to an era where sailing boats gracefully navigated through the Bosporus Strait. The architecture showcased on this map showcases the grandeur and beauty of historical buildings that once stood tall along its shores. As we explore this piece further, we are captivated by its horizontal layout which allows for a comprehensive view of both land and sea. The absence of people adds an air of mystery, allowing our imagination to run wild with stories from the past. The Latin script used throughout reminds us of how knowledge was shared across borders during this period. This particular style exemplifies the artistic techniques prevalent in 16th-century illustrations and paintings. Stepping into history through this remarkable print evokes a sense of wonder and admiration for those who meticulously crafted such maps centuries ago. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also highlights how far we have come in terms of cartography and understanding our world today.
