EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history: the "New and Accurate Illustration of Germany in its Entirety" by Willem Janszoon Blaeu. Created in Amsterdam in 1639, this copperplate masterpiece measures an impressive 157 x 200 cm. The intricate details of this map transport us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into Germany's geographical landscape during that time. The North Sea and Baltic Sea are prominently featured, reminding us of the country's strong maritime connections. With its precise direction markers and navigational symbols, this map served as a valuable tool for travelers seeking guidance across Germany's diverse terrain. Its historical significance lies not only in its practicality but also in its artistic execution. Against a backdrop of bustling cities and serene countryside scenes, we can observe various elements that add depth to Blaeu's creation. From sailing ships gracefully gliding through the waters to medium-sized groups of animals dotting the landscape, every detail is meticulously rendered with artistry and craft. Latin script alongside Western script further enhances our understanding of this era while adding an air of authenticity to the map. Notably, a two-headed eagle symbolizes power and authority within German heraldry traditions. As we admire this outdoor scene captured on copperplate centuries ago, let us appreciate both the beauty and utility embedded within Blaeu's extraordinary work - an enduring testament to his skill as one of history’s most renowned cartographers.
