Sobre este artículo

Cologne, c. 1617. Copper engraving, 31.5 x 42 cms, original hand colour, short split and light waterstain to centrefold, Latin text on verso. York, Shrewsbury, Lancaster, and Richmond Palace, on one sheet; all are derived from John Speed’s county maps. In the borders are figures representing eras in pre-Conquest Britain (a Briton, Roman, Saxon and Dane) which are again derived from Speed. On the right are figures in contemporary dress, headed by the King and Queen (bearing some resemblance to James I and Anne of Denmark). Published in the final volume of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, which was one of the most significant cartographic works of the late sixteenth-century, printed over 45 year period between 1572 and 1617. It was the first systematic city atlas (containing the first accurate surveys of many towns) and was inspired in part by the scope of Abraham Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terarrum which gathered together the best available geographical sources. Town views and plans were all taken from direct observation rather than improvised in the manner of some earlier geographical works - it had not been unknown for the same view to appear in more than one guise. Georg Braun wrote the text and Ortelius himself - who travelled through Italy with the artist Joris Hoefnagel - supplied a significant proportion of the material, which was then engraved by Simon Novellanus and Frans Hogenburg. Later contributors included Abraham Hogenberg and Jacob Hoefnagel, who continued their fathers’ work. There were a number of editions, mostly with Latin text, but it is extremely difficult (and, according to Koeman 'of secondary importance') to differentiate between them, as the state of the plates and their number and order does not vary.
