EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map of Calais, Malta, Rhodes, and Famagusta" from Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg in 1572, this coloured engraving offers a mesmerizing birds-eye view of these prominent cities. The map takes us on an enchanting journey through time as we explore the bustling harbours, intricate cityscapes, and thriving trading scenes depicted with meticulous detail. The artist Joris Hoefnagel masterfully captures the essence of each location, transporting us to a bygone era where ships sailed across vast seas connecting distant lands. From the strategic port of Calais in France to the historic islands of Malta and Rhodes in the Mediterranean Sea, this print immerses us in a world shaped by maritime trade and cultural exchange. The inclusion of Famagusta on Cyprus Island adds another layer to this rich tapestry as it was once a flourishing center for commerce. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from our private collection courtesy of The Stapleton Collection and Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. This map serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration while offering glimpses into the past that continue to captivate our imagination today.
