EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching is a stunning representation of Przemyśl, a Polish city located near the border with Lithuania, as it appeared in the early modern period. The image is taken from the seminal work "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum" (Theatrum orbis terrarum), also known as "Map of the World's Cities," created by the renowned cartographer George Braun between 1572 and 1617. This masterpiece was produced in collaboration with Abraham Ortelius and Franz Hogenberg. Przemyśl, situated in southeastern Poland, is depicted here as a thriving urban center with a fortified old town, surrounded by lush greenery and winding rivers. The city's strategic location at the crossroads of important trade routes is evident from the numerous horse-drawn carts and carriages traversing the landscape. This etching, held in the National Library of France, captures the essence of a day in Przemyśl during daylight hours. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the city's buildings and the surrounding countryside. The intricate details of the etching are truly breathtaking, from the individual horses and carriages to the winding riverbanks and the city walls. The "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum" was a groundbreaking work in the field of cartography, and this etching of Przemyśl is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating city and the world around it.
