Over the centuries, important towns and cities around the world have been the subject of a significant number of drawn, painted, engraved and printed representations. Cultural historians and art historians have tended to neglect such images considering them of low quality. However, historical images are important testimonies, recording on-the-spot observation of the events depicted, thus allowing us to imagine the past more easily. In fact, their roles have included bringing news to the public and presenting curiosities from the exotic worlds of others, of those with other customs, languages, religions, geographical locations and so on. They satisfied a need for images from distant places felt by those who could not travel. We are tempted to look at historical images only as valuable objects displayed in museums or kept in special cabinets, forgetting from our modern technology-dependent perspective that their purpose was different. This paper aims to draw attention to the cultural and educational purpose of historical images of towns, studying their role as a medium for transmitting important knowledge on European cultural heritage.
