EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, hailing from the 16th century, showcases the Andalusian region of Spain with a focus on the town of Ecija and the Genil river. The map is an intricate engraving taken from the atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," created by the renowned cartographers Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Franz Hogenberg (1536-1590). The map, dated 1576, is currently housed in the historic Salamanca University Library. The map offers a vivid portrayal of the Andalusian landscape during the modern age. The Genil river, meandering through the region, is depicted with a sense of realism that was groundbreaking for the time. Ecija, a bustling city located along the river, is depicted with meticulous detail. The map reveals the economic significance of the area, with images of carts and livestock, suggesting the importance of agriculture and cattle raising in the region. The map's color palette adds to its allure, with a rich use of earthy tones that evoke the arid climate of Andalusia. The intricate details of the map, from the winding river to the individual buildings in Ecija, offer a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the history and culture of this fascinating region. The map's creation during the Age of Discovery underscores the importance of cartography in the exploration and documentation of new lands. The intricate details and stunning visuals make this map a must-see for history buffs, cartography enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the rich history of Andalusia and Spain.
