| Summary | Plus de quatre siècles après sa publication originale, découvrez un joyau de cartographie urbaine et d'instruction civique. Cette réimpression de grande qualité comprend l'ensemble des 363 planches couleur du Civitates orbis terrarum, magnifique collection de gravures de plans de ville produites entre 1572 et 1617. Avec ses cartes, vues à vol d'oiseau et plans de toutes les grandes villes d'Europe, ainsi que des villes les plus importantes d'Asie, d'Afrique et d'Amérique Latine, ce chef-d'oeuvre de la cartographie urbaine nous offre une vue globale de la vie urbaine au tournant du XVIIe siècle. Édité et annoté par le théologien Georg Braun et accompagné de bon nombre de gravures de Franz Hogenberg, cet ouvrage comprend également les réalisations de plus d'une centaine d'artistes et cartographes qui n'ont pas simplement proposé des vues de villes mais y ont également introduit des éléments complémentaires, comme des personnages en costume local, des scènes de cour ou des détails topographiques qui aident à rendre compte de la situation géographique, du pouvoir commercial et de l'importance politique de chacune des villes. Cette réédition de TASCHEN replace les planches dans leur contexte grâce à des extraits choisis des textes de Braun sur l'histoire et l'importance de chaque centre urbain, ainsi que des commentaires détaillés permettant de situer chaque plan de ville dans son contexte cartographique et culturel. |
| Comments | <p>More than four centuries on from its first publication, discover one of the jewels of urban cartography and civic studies. This quality reprint includes all 363 color plates from the Civitates orbis terrarum, a magnificent collection of town map engravings, produced between 1572 and 1617.</p><p>Featuring plans, bird's-eye views, and maps for all major cities in Europe, plus important urban centers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, this masterwork in urban mapping gives us a comprehensive view of city life at the turn of the 17th century. It was edited and annotated by theologian and publisher Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but also involved over a hundred different artists and cartographers who contributed not only town views, but additional elements, such as figures in local dress, courtroom scenes, and topographical details, to help convey the situation, commercial power, and political influence of each city.</p><p>TASCHEN's reprint contextualizes the plates with selected extracts from Braun's original texts on the history and significance of each urban center, as well as detailed commentaries to place each city map in its cartographical and cultural context.</p> |
