This description of the world, published in Basel from 1544 to 1628, glorified the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and engendered the city book genre. Van Putten argues that Münster’s network of city view makers and contributors—from German princes and artists to Swiss woodcutters, draftsmen, and printers—expressed their local and national cultural identities in the views. The Cosmographia , and the city books it inspired, offer insights into the development of German and Swiss identity from 1550 to Switzerland’s independence from the empire in 1648.Maps, Spaces, Cultures1.Cities and towns in artNationalism in artNational characteristics, German, in artNational characteristics, Swiss, in artWood-engraving, GermanThemes, motivesWood-engraving, SwissThemes, motivesCities and towns in art.Nationalism in art.National characteristics, German, in art.National characteristics, Swiss, in art.Wood-engraving, GermanThemes, motives.Wood-engraving, SwissThemes, motives.700.4581Van Putten Jasper1580300MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796524903321Networked nation3861142UNINA
