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. A fine view of the town of Landshut in Bavaria with Trausnitz Castle overlooking the old town. With charming figures in the foreground. Published in the third volume with German text to the verso. Fauser, A. 6493; Koeman II B & H 3 no. 45.
