Civitates orbis terrarum edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I think that the Civitates orbis terrarum should be a separate article, considering how expansive it is and how many different cities it covers and how extravagent the drawings and maps are. Just an opinion. --Farmer88 (talk) 19:57, 25 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Georg Braun (1541 – 10 March 1622) was a Catholic cleric and topo-geographer from Cologne. From 1572 to 1617, he edited the Civitates orbis terrarum, which contains 546 prospects, bird's-eye views and maps of cities from around the world. This copper plate print was published in the first volume of the work; it was engraved by the Flemish mapmaker Frans Hogenberg and shows a historical view of Trier.
