Bruan and Hogenberg: The six volume city atlas ‘Civitates Orbis Terrarum’ was published in Köln between 1572 and 1617. The atlas was edited by German geographer and cleric Georg Braun (1541-1622) and the maps engraved by the German engraver Frans (Franz) Hogenberg (1535-1590). In total the atlas contained 546 plates of cities of the known world; mostly birds-eye maps.
