EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Map of the Russian Empire in the sixteenth century. A faithful reproduction of an original from 1571, this colour lithograph by Abraham Ortelius takes us back to a time when Russia was still emerging as a powerful empire. The map is rich with intricate details and offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of that era. Stretching across vast territories, it depicts not only Russia but also its neighboring regions, including Tartar lands and parts of Central Asia. The presence of camels on the map serves as a reminder of the Silk Road trade routes that once connected these diverse cultures. One cannot help but be captivated by the sheer size and grandeur depicted here. The Caspian Sea dominates much of the map's center, symbolizing both Russia's strategic importance as well as its connection to other maritime powers. This print is housed in Paris' Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs, serving as a testament to its historical significance. It allows us to appreciate Ortelius' skillful cartography and his contribution to our understanding of this pivotal period in Russian history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to an age where empires were expanding their borders and forging new paths through uncharted territories. This print truly captures the essence and allure of 16th-century Russia like no other.
