A very attractive view of Grodna in present day Belorussia near the Polish border. The ‘Civitates Orbis Terrarum’ was compiled by George Braun (1541-1622) the Canon of Cologne Cathedral. Braun produced a total of over 500 city views and maps published in six parts between 1572 and 1617. Most of the engraving was the work of Simon Novellanus and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590), many after drawings by George Hoefnagel. This item was published in the second volume of the famous work first issued in 1575. Koeman (1967-70) II B & H 2 no. 48.
