Title A name given to the resource Halle and Hildesheim from the Civitates Orbis Terrarum [Cities of the World] Description An account of the resource This page depicts views of the German cities of Halle and Hidelsheim. It comes from the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, a multi-volume 16th-century atlas of European and world cities. The engravings, stacked across the page, portray the cities as an approaching traveler would see them. The realistic perspective of the two city views distinguishes them from the bird's-eye perspective of a city map; indeed, the engravings resemble paintings. In the engraving of Halle, two women, assumedly locals, stand before a road that winds through a sweeping green field before reaching the skyline of Halle. The map labels the major landmarks of Halle, its soaring cathedral being most prominent. The lower map of Hildesheim, while devoid of locals, includes a large lake with four ducks. A road passes the lake and bends towards the Hildesheim skyline, whose major features, mostly church steeples, are labeled. The engravings were meant to accompany text in the atlas, which this piece does not contain. The missing text describes notable features of the cities and their regions, emphasizing the ethnographic goal of the atlas project.
