Description
This fascinating woodcut view was published as part of an Italian edition of Sebastian Munster’s Cosmography around 1570. It shows the medieval fortified city of Colmar, today part of the French region of Alsace but formerly an independent city of the Holy Roman Empire.
The image is dominated by St. Martin’s Church in the center (still visible), with other letterpress labels identifying at least three other churches, the Prediger Cloister, and a curious ‘God field’ on the outskirts of town. Topography and geographic features are depicted pictorially.
