Konstnär och arkitekt. Född 1898 på släktgodset Wesselhof, dåvarande ryska guvernementet Livland idag Lettland. Ätten är urgammal svensk adel. Bodo von Campenhausen utbildade sig till konstnär och verkade som professor i keramik vid konstakademin i Berlin. Han lämnade Tyskland strax innan andra världskriget såsom motståndare till nazisterna och slog sig sedermera ner i Lund. Som konstnär målade han akvareller med stor framgång men är mest känd för sina kavaljersperspektiv, liknande fågelperspektiv, över städer.

Namnet Bodo von Campenhausen är det kanske inte många som känner till. Däremot är hans hans detaljerade karta över Karlshamn välbekant. Denna gjorde han under en resa till staden 1963. På kartan finns även en kvinna med hund. Den enda person han avbildade på sina kartor.

Strax innan andra världskriget bröt ut flydde arkitekten Bodo von Campenhausen från Tyskland till Sverige. Han var en stark motståndare till nazis...

Stacpoole, Frederick.

(b 1813; d London, 19 Dec 1907).
English engraver. He was educated in Ghent, Belgium, and later at the Royal Academy Schools, London, where he was awarded silver medals in 1839 and 1841. He worked in the mixed mezzotint style and exhibited 43 examples of his work at the Royal Academy between 1841 and 1893. Of Stacpoole’s many plates, perhaps the best-known are those after William Holman Hunt’s Shadow of Death (1873; Manchester, C.A.G.) and the battle subjects of Lady Butler. Stacpoole began work early in 1874 on the engraving of Shadow of Death . The original picture had been bought by Thos Agnew & Sons and was exhibited so widely that, on publication of the engravings in 1877, the sale of proofs alone realized more than £20,000. By January 1879 Stacpoole had received a total of £3560 from the Fine Art Society for his plates after Lady Butler’s Roll Call (1874; British Royal Col.; declared for publication in 1874), Quatre Bras (1875; Melbourne, N.G. Victoria) and Balaclava (1876; Manchester, C.A.G.; both declared in 1876).

Sophianos, Nikolaos.

Sophianos was well known as an expert on Greek history and geography. He was sent to Greece in about 1543 by Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, the Spanish envoy to Venice, to acquire Greek manuscripts for the Escurial Library. It is about this time – possibly in 1540, the date found at the end of Sophianos text on this map – that Sophianus compiled his great map of Greece, although there is no surviving example.
In 1544, Johann Oporinus, a printer and publisher in Basle, published an eight-sheet version of Sophianos map, cut by Master Christoph of Strasburg. Of this earliest printing, there is also no known extant example. Indeed, the earliest surviving printing of the map recorded by Zacharakis or Karrow was printed by Johann Schroeter in Basle in 1601.
It appears that Oporinus reprinted the map in 1545 to accompany his edition of Gerbelius “In Descriptionem Graeciae Sophiani, Praefatio….”. Although the book gives instructions on colouring the map, and contains additional gazetteer, the map seems not to have been routinely bound with the book, but rather was issued separately, hence its rarity.
Karrow records no example of the book with the map, however, an example in the Library of Congress is described as having the map(the British Library example does not), and this example almost certainly owes its survival, and fine condition, to having been bound in the book, as the page size is very similar to the BL example.
Karrow notes that Oporinus commissioned a series of town views to accompany the map. Visible along the lower border is the upper border of a frame where these views might have been placed, but this additional panel has been masked off in printing.
Bland arbeten:
Descriptio nova totivs Graeciae per Nicolavm Sophianvm. Basle, 1544-1545, large woodcut wall-map of Greece, on eight sheets uncut, each sheet approx. 380 x 280mm., with an additional sheet with letterpress gazetteer. Of great rarity. The earliest surviving wall-map of Greece and the first significant modern map of Greece, compiled by Nickolaos Sophianos, a Greek cartographer from Corfu, born of a noble family there. This example is apparently the second state of the map. It retains the date 1544 just above the scale bar on the bottom right hand skeet, but the letterpress text in the left hand cartouche on the lower left sheet may have been reset, in whole or part, as it ends with the date “prid[ie] Calend[is]. Septembr[is]. Anno salutis publiae M D X L V”.
