An attractive early view of Cambray in northern France in fine wash colour typical of the period. 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. Published in the fourth volume first issued in 1588. Koeman II B & H 4 no. 5; Fauser, A. 2262.
