Immerse yourself in this playfully whimsical 1699 city map of Brouckerque, France.
Imagine the artist standing before the city walls, drawing his sketches for this medieval panoramic cityscape...
Though more than 300 years old, Frederick de Wit’s medieval copperplate-printed city maps were crafted with such accuracy and love for detail, that even today residents of the old city centres may spot their own homes.
While the street plan itself is drawn from a bird’s eye view, the buildings and details are drawn in a slanted three-dimensional projection.
We love the charming, almost toy-like, feel, that this gives the maps.
Each piece in this collection has been gently digitally restored, with respect for its original colours and details.
Printed with Japanese archival ink on a matte Hahnemühle paper in our own studio in rural Copenhagen, Denmark.
Design no. 11055
