Copper engraving, hand-coloured at the time, 375 × 516 mm. A fine example of this beautiful and world-famous perspective view of the city, derived from an earlier print by Natale Bonifacio. Taken from *Civitates Orbis Terrarum*, a landmark work in the history of cityscape art, printed between 1572 and 1617 in six volumes published in different years and in various languages, compiled and written by Georg Braun, whilst Frans Hogenberg was the author of the engravings alongside Simon Novellanus, generally based on designs by Georg Hoefnagel. An excellent copy with Latin text on the reverse, and a small restoration in the top left-hand corner.
