EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Sebastian Munster, a prominent figure in cartography and cosmography during the 16th century. The woodcut image is taken from a 1550 edition of his renowned work, Cosmographia. Sebastian Munster, born in 1488 and passing away in 1552, was not only a skilled cartographer but also an accomplished hebraist and writer. His contributions to geography and astronomy were highly regarded during the Renaissance period. In this half-length portrait, Munster is depicted wearing a distinctive flat hat that adds to his scholarly appearance. The woodcut technique used to create this print beautifully captures the intricate details of Munster's face and expression. It serves as a testament to both his cultural significance as a German author and his impact on European history. Munster's notable works include "Rudimenta Mathematica" published in 1544, "Sacrae Geographiae Tabulam" from 1550, as well as "Beschreibung aller Lender" which gained him recognition for its comprehensive geographical descriptions. This print offers us an intimate glimpse into the life of Sebastian Munster - an influential cosmographer whose literary contributions continue to shape our understanding of geography even today.
