This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Comitatvs Marchia Et Ravensberg’, which translates to ‘County of Mark and Ravensberg’. Germany in the early 17th century was a patchwork of independent states and territories, with the Holy Roman Empire serving as a loose framework for governance. The Thirty Years’ War, which ended in 1648, had a profound impact on the region, leaving many areas devastated and depopulated. The map shows the region of Mark and Ravensberg, located centrally between Hagen, Ennepetal, and Sprockhövel, but beyond that, it’s difficult to discern any specific details without closer inspection.

Giclée Print Feedback:
Absolutely stellar service! Whilst I was considering my purchase Callum was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to actually talk to me rather than keep to business – how refreshing and genuine! I made my purchase quite late in the evening and was surprised to receive notification that it had been dispatched the following day! Lo and behold, I received the print within 48 hours – a remarkably quick turnaround!
Certainly no need to worry about Christmas delivery times! As for the print I bought – perfect… exceptional quality, with fine detail captured without fault. It’s on nice thick paper and packaged with care. I’ll definitely be back for more – I’ve already eyed up my next one!
