EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and historically significant map titled "Russia cum Confinijs. Map of Russia, ca 1595". The image, part of a private collection, takes us back to the Middle Ages when cartography was in its infancy. Created by Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594), a renowned Flemish cartographer, this copper engraving with watercolor detailing offers an exquisite glimpse into the early Rus and Muscovy. The map portrays the vast territory of Russia during that era, including the Moscow Principality and Grand Duchy of Moscow. It provides valuable insights into Russian history and serves as a testament to Mercator's mastery in capturing geographical details with precision. Displayed against a backdrop of fine art images, this print evokes curiosity about the political landscape and cultural heritage of medieval Russia. Its intricate design invites viewers to explore not only historical events but also appreciate the artistic intricacies involved in creating such maps centuries ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that it is more than just an object; it represents our collective past and helps us understand how boundaries were defined during different periods. This photograph preserves an invaluable artifact for future generations while igniting our fascination for both geography and history alike.
