Item Details

Description

Title: Antique Color Woodcut - Sebastian Munster - Cosmographia - Cologne Bonn Region

Date/Period: c. 1578

Dimension: 8” x 12” inches / 21 cm x 30 cm

Material: Paper

Additional Information: Step into the captivating world of "Cosmographia" through this exquisite antique woodcut engraving by Sebastian Münster. Originating from a work of immense significance, this woodcut is a testament to the enduring legacy of Münster's masterpiece. "Cosmographia" transcended language barriers, captivating readers in Latin, French, Italian, English, and Czech, with 24 editions published over a century. The success of this extraordinary work can be attributed to the remarkable woodcuts created by renowned artists such as Hans Holbein the Younger, Urs Graf, Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch, and David Kandel. Sebastian Münster, a distinguished German cartographer, cosmographer, and Hebrew scholar, dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge. His work became the principal source of geographical, ethnographical, and scientific knowledge for almost a century, with numerous editions and translations in various languages. Münster's comprehensive vision surpassed previous cosmographies, encompassing not only mathematics, astronomy, and geography but also providing a brief description of all lands of the known world. Through meticulous research, he compiled vast amounts of topographical, genealogical, ethnographical, anthropological, and scientific data from printed and manuscript sources and collaborated with a network of scholars. This woodcut engraving not only represents a remarkable piece of art but also serves as a gateway to the rich tapestry of knowledge and exploration that characterized Sebastian Münster's transformative work, "Cosmographia."
