EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of Westfalia, Germany from the year 1596. Created by the renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator, this intricate piece is a true testament to his mastery in mapmaking. The private collection that houses this treasure has graciously allowed us a glimpse into history through this remarkable artwork. Westfalia, also known as Westphallie during that time, is depicted with meticulous detail and precision. Every river, town, and mountain range is intricately etched onto the map, providing a fascinating snapshot of the region's geography in the late 16th century. Mercator's "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" served as a groundbreaking work in cartography during its time. This particular engraving was featured within its pages when it was published in Duisburg in 1596. It stands as a testament to Mercator's dedication to accuracy and innovation. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this historical gem through her lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness how Westfalia appeared centuries ago.
