This early copper plate view illustrates the town of Bar-le-Duc in Lorraine, France. 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 very rare final sixth volume in 1618. Koeman II B & H 6 no. 8.
