EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century, specifically a map of Kampen in the Netherlands. Engraved by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg, this intricate artwork is part of their renowned series "Civitates Orbis Terrarum". The map provides an invaluable glimpse into the topography and architecture of Kampen during that era. The image depicts a bustling city with its iconic bridge connecting different parts of town. Fields stretch out beyond the city limits, where farmers tend to their cattle. A road leads towards the river, where ships are docked, symbolizing Kampen's importance as a trading hub. The map also features various insignias and coats of arms representing different factions within the city. Text accompanies key locations on the map, providing guidance for travelers navigating through this historical landscape. Notable architectural structures can be seen along the skyline, while trees dotting the countryside add natural beauty to this scene. Men travel on horseback or in carts pulled by horses along country roads. This engraving transports us back in time to experience life in 16th-century Kampen—a vibrant human settlement thriving amidst its navigational equipment and nautical vessels. It serves as both an artful representation and a valuable historical artifact capturing an important chapter in Dutch history.
