This antique map, titled ‘Descriptio Agri Civitatis Coloniensis’ and created in 1665, depicts an area in central Germany which includes the cities of Köln, Hürth and Frechen. The title translates to ‘Description of the City of Cologne’s Agricultural Land’. Germany in the early 17th century was a collection of states, each with their own rulers and political systems. The Holy Roman Empire was still in existence, and the Thirty Years’ War had just ended, leaving the country devastated. The region depicted on the map would have been primarily rural, with small towns and villages dotting the landscape. The map may show the boundaries of estates and manors, as well as the location of roads and rivers.
Some place names that may be covered by the map: Delhoven, Stotzheim, Thenhoven, Stommeln, Stotzheim, Niederaußem, Türnich, Thenhoven, Sinnersdorf, Dreizehn-Linden-Platz, Kerpen, Kreuz, Horrem, Ns-Dokumentationszentrum

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!
