A very fine birds-eye view of Zurich showing the old walled town. 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 map was published in the third volume of the famous work. With German text to the verso. Koeman, C. (Atlantes) B&H 3, #44.
