EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of Lyon, France from Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. Created in the 16th century, this engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into Lyon's past. The map is an intricate representation of Lyon's topography, with its roads, borders, and river prominently featured. It serves as both a navigational tool and a testament to the city's rich history. The inclusion of detailed text offers guidance for travelers exploring Lyon during that era. In this aerial view captured on a sunny day, two men dressed in traditional clothing can be seen studying the map intently. Their presence adds depth to the image, evoking thoughts of travel and discovery during this period. Notably, a nautical vessel gracefully sails along the river depicted in the artwork - symbolizing Lyon's importance as an inland port city at that time. The artistry displayed through engraved images highlights both the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such maps and their significance as historical artifacts today. The use of Western script further emphasizes Lyon's connection to broader European culture during this period. This print transports us back in time to witness how human settlements like Lyon were intricately mapped out centuries ago. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its value as an invaluable resource for understanding our shared past.
