EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map Saxoniae Superioris Lvsatiae Misniaeqve descriptio" by Gerard Mercator. Crafted in the 16th century, this copperplate print is a testament to Mercator's exceptional skill and precision as a mapmaker. The map itself depicts the regions of Saxoniae Superioris, Lusatia, and Misnia with incredible detail and accuracy. Every contour of the land, every river meandering through valleys, and every city dotting the landscape is meticulously rendered on this exquisite artwork. Gerard Mercator was renowned for his innovative projection method known as the "Mercator projection" which allowed for more accurate representation of geographical features on flat surfaces. This particular map exemplifies his mastery of this technique, showcasing not only his technical prowess but also his deep understanding of geography. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an era when maps were both practical tools for navigation and works of art that celebrated our curiosity about the world. It serves as a reminder that even in today's digital age, there is still something enchanting about holding a tangible piece of history in our hands
