EDITORS COMMENTS
Orbis Pictus: A Glimpse into 17th Century Farming - Two Exquisite Pages from the Rare Publication Orbis Pictus, published in 1658, is an intriguing and visually captivating compendium of agricultural knowledge from the 17th century. This two-page spread showcases the essence of farming during that era, with a selection of meticulously detailed scenes that illustrate various aspects of husbandry. The top page depicts a farmer in the midst of ploughing his land with the aid of a strong ox. The oxen, harnessed to the plough, pull it steadily forward, turning the soil and preparing it for the upcoming planting season. The farmer, dressed in traditional attire, expertly guides the plough, demonstrating the physical labor and dedication required for a successful harvest. The bottom page presents a diagram of a harrow, an essential tool used for breaking up clods of soil and leveling the ground after ploughing. The intricate design of the harrow's teeth and the precise arrangement of the various components are evident in this beautifully rendered diagram. The text accompanying the image provides a clear and concise explanation of the harrow's function, further emphasizing the importance of understanding the intricacies of farming during this period. The font used in Orbis Pictus is a striking example of Gothic typography, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the publication. The pages themselves, with their aged texture and subtle wear, offer a tangible connection to the past, allowing us to witness firsthand the agricultural practices of the 17th century. These captivating scenes provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of farming during this time, offering a unique perspective on the labor, tools, and knowledge required for a prosperous harvest.
