An attractive bird’s eye view of Velletri, in the Lazio region of Italy. 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. It was published in the third volume issued with German text only in the year 1582. Koeman II B & H 3 no. 53.
