Woodcut, mm 155x355. A charming 16th century panorama view of Vienna from La Cosmographie Universelle de tout le Monde, a french version of the Cosmographia by Sebastian Münster (1488 – 1552) one of the earliest German description of the world. It had numerous editions in different languages including Latin, French (translated by François de Belleforest), Italian, English, and even Czech. The Cosmographia was one of the most successful and popular books of the 16th century. Very good example with full margins
