EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "View of fortified city, 1493" takes us back to the medieval era. Created by Hartmannus Schedel in the 15th century as part of the Liber chronicarum mundi (Nuremberg Chronicle), this woodcut offers a glimpse into a bustling walled city. In the foreground, we see a majestic cog, a type of sailing vessel commonly used during that time period. Its presence suggests an active port and highlights the importance of maritime trade for this fortified city's prosperity. At the bottom right corner, a watergate stands tall, granting access to both ships and visitors entering or leaving the city. This gate serves as a reminder of how fortifications were not only meant for defense but also controlled movement in and out of these urban centers. The intricate details captured in this monochrome print showcase various buildings within the walls. Each structure tells its own story - from towering castles to humble dwellings - representing different aspects of daily life during that era. Hartmannus Schedel's work transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at the architectural wonders and transport systems that shaped our history. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate how cities evolved over centuries while preserving their unique charm and character.
