EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century, specifically Abraham Ortelius' "Map of Russia" featured in Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Created in Antwerp in 1570, this map provides a fascinating glimpse into the past and offers valuable insights into the topography and physical geography of Russia during that time. The intricate details depicted on this map are truly awe-inspiring. From the majestic mountains to the sprawling lakes, every element is meticulously illustrated with precision and artistry. The inclusion of rivers, trees, and even wildlife such as mammals adds an extra layer of realism to this historical masterpiece. As we explore this aerial view, we can observe men and women traveling through the vast landscape on horseback or by camel. Some have set up tents along their journey while others rely on navigational equipment for guidance. In the background, a large group of people can be seen engaged in various activities against a backdrop of non-urban scenery. Ortelius' use of Western script for labeling further enhances our understanding of this ancient land's features and landmarks. This artwork not only serves as an invaluable resource for historians but also stands as a testament to human curiosity about our world throughout history. With its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within Ortelius' Map of Russia from Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.
