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. This image across the top is of the Inn Valley with Alps in the background. Various villages are depicted in the valley. Below are two smaller scenes: The ‘Schlossberg’ and a monument to the Emperor Charles V. Published in the first edition of the rare fifth volume. Koeman II B & H 5 no. 59.
