Hogenberg in Cologne Germany ca 1575.Biography engraver: Frans Hogenberg (1533-1588) was the son of a Munich engraver who settled in Malines. He engraved most of the plates for Ortelius' Theatrum and the majority of those in the Civitates, and may have been responsible for originating the project. Worked and died in Cologne/Germany. He was a prolific copper engraver and etching artist of maps and town views. In cooperation with Georg Braun he created the first four volumes of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum in 1572.Biography artist: Georg Braun (1542-1622), a German publisher and Frans Hogenberg issued the famous six volume town book 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum' between 1572 and 1618. The volumes originally published in Latin, follow by German and French translations. The plates passed to Jan Janssonius who reissued the town books in 1657 while removing the costume figures on the plates. Condition: good, given age. Original middle fold as issued. Several crinkles or creases but mainly in the margins. Minor tears in margin restored. Light foxing. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling.

No binding. 310 x 400 mm., early wash colour enhanced with gilt, in good condition. An example of Braun and Hogenberg's plan of the city of Exeter in particularly fine EARLY WASH COLOUR ENHANCED WITH GILT, with Latin text to the verso. This is one of the rarest of the English plans in the 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum' as it was published in the last volume. It 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 was first published in the very rare sixth and last volume in 1617 with Latin text. The original survey is the work of John Hooker whose engraved plan of 1587 is one of the earliest provincial town plans in England. Hooker was the First Chamberlain of Exeter who commissioned many regional items from publishers in London. His original plan was the work of his relative, the engraver Remigius Hogenberg and only three examples survive. It was the source for many ensuing plans of the town including the inset by John Speed on his map of the county of Devon. This superb example of Braun & Hogenberg's version is the largest and most detailed of all the derivatives.

Collated complete, except for II.4(?)2 blank, IV.?1 (part 4 title-page) and IV.2?2 blank. Bound in contemporary calf with the "standard Civitates binding" offered by Hogenberg, tooled gilt originally but now mostly rubbed to blind. On the spine, five raised bands with triple blind fillets above and below. Title gilt to the second panel, number gilt to the third. All edges of the text-block glazed red. Each volume presented in an archival phase box. Lacking the part 4 title-page and two blanks (as enumerated above). Conserved in October 2021 by James and Stuart Brockman (full report available). The following ten plates have been supplied from other copies: I.8 (Montpellier), I.9 (Rouen), I.35 (Frankfurt); II.24 (Dordrecht); III.4 (Edinburgh), III.36 (Leeuwarden), III.37 (Soest and Warburg), III.38 (Frankenberg), III.44 (Zurich); IV.32 (Bad Segeberg). Some foxing to the preliminaries. Ink marginalia in an old (XVIIc?) hand in Spanish throughout, with concentrations to the Spanish views of vol. I (41r, Granada; 51r, Barcelona) and to the preliminaries of vol. V. Contemporary coloring throughout, with fine gilding to the title-pages. Although Civitates Orbis Terrarum -- Cities of the World -- is the title given only to the first part of the work, it admirably describes what is otherwise named for its principal creators: Braun & Hogenberg. Georg Braun (Bruin in Dutch; 1541-1622) was the managing editor as well as the author of the descriptions appended to each plate. Frans Hogenberg (1543-1590) was fresh from his collaboration with Abraham Ortelius (the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum) when he suggested a complimentary account of the beacon of civilized life: the city. The project took some 40 years to come to completion; the first edition of part 1 was published in 1572, the first edition of part 6 was published in 1617 (the present set, as often, stops with part 5). As the cities of Europe (principally; there are views of cities on three additional continents: North America (Mexico and Cuzco, I.58), Africa (Cairo, Tangier, Casablanca; I.55-57) and Asia (Aden, I.53; Calicut, I.54 and Jerusalem several times) grew in size and splendor, there was a desire to document their features and organization. In part an exercise in civic pride, the views Braun chose were often drawn by local artists, and so there is an aspect of self-presentation as opposed to the intended accuracy of atlases proper. Although Dutch atlases are sometimes described as a bibliographer's nightmare, the Civitates is, properly, neither Dutch nor an atlas. Whereas other works of this sort often comprised a constantly-shifting buffet of updated plates that would replace one another, Braun and Hogenberg simply added new views and plans as they became available without replacing. Thus the work is unusually historicized, allowing the viewer to follow the development of, say, Jerusalem from 1572 (I.52) to 1575 (II.54) to 1588 (IV.58-59). The Spanish owner of the present set, perhaps from Barcelona given the volume of the annotations to its plate-text (I.5), was in a position to correct or to add information; there are no citations, so perhaps comments are from his own experience. Whereas the fate of the Civitates is often the framer's knife, having the set with early marginalia shows that the volumes were used as records and windows of the development of the early modern city.

Thus the work is unusually historicized, allowing the viewer to follow the development of, say, Jerusalem from 1572 (1.52) to 1575 (2.54) to 1588 (4.58-59). The owner of the present item waited until the publication of the final part (1617/8)s to purchase a uniform set: the most up-to-date edition of each volume, all by the Cologne publisher Petrus von Brachel. The only indication of the binder/owner's identity is the title on the spine (Cidades do Mundo): he was Portuguese. The relationship between Portugal and the rest of Europe in the early XVIIc was tempestuous, and so we feel in the set a certain rivalry: whose city has the most or most splendid spires, the greatest market, the most organized plan? The Civitates gave wide access to city planning in a variety of countries and climates, and allowed for a cross-pollination of best practices as cities ballooned into the XVIIc. Individual leaves from the Civitates have circulated widely for centuries, and as a result complete sets -- all six parts with all plates present -- are rare indeed, even in institutional collections. A contemporary binding (especially in vellum) in such fine condition is even rarer still. This may well be the ultimate trophy in picturing the development of the city.

Single page (22 x 16 ½) Full margins showing the plate mark (foxing, browning, margin staining center short tear, chipping, pitting affecting bottom engraving.) A stunning bird's eye view of the Spanish cities of Burgos and San Sebastian. Taken from the 1572 original Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. This famous atlas provides its viewers with outstanding insight into the cities of the world, through the views, social interactions between locally dressed figures, and pastoral backgrounds. The sheet is further embellished with an elegant bordering and simple cartouches. Burgos is depicted to us as a view from afar, sitting gallantly on the right bank of the Arlazon River. There are several striking architectural structures standing out, namely the enormous Gothic cathedral (13-15c century) towering over the cities structures. In a distance, we see the standing ruins of the old city citadel, which functioned as a fortress for the ruling kings of Castile. The city's commercial activities and trade in cloth, wool, cheese are subtly highlighted by the engraver's staffage. The view of San Sebastian illustrates a delightful seaside-scape, The city's buildings appear cramped and undistinguishable; with the ruins of an old fortress on a nearby hill overlooking the city.The left-hand side outcrop depicted the martyring figure of Saint Sebastian, from whom this city takes its name. The 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum' ('Atlas of the Cities of the World') by Braun and Hogenburg is the second oldest printed atlas in the history of world cartography; and the first atlas of towns. Its principal creators and authors were the theologist and editor Georg Braun, the most important engraver and publisher Franz Hogenberg. Other artists involved were Simon van den Neuvel, Georg Hoefnagel, Jacob van Deventer to name a few. Although it was published outside of the Netherlands, the Civitates is considered one of the better examples of the Antwerp School of Cartographers, due to its Flemish style of engraving a trait typical of Dutch atlases from the period. One of the most well-known figures from this school, who also played a key role in the making of this atlas, was Abraham Ortelius. It is frequently thought that the Civitates is the direct and intended companion for Ortelius' famous 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' (1570). In addition to this, there is evidence of correspondence between these three great men and their ideas to create such an atlas. The first volume of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum was published in Cologne in 1572. Its sixth and final volume appeared later in 1617. The Civitates was a widespread and enormously successful. It was frequently republished and supplemented with new sections with later editions. The maps it contained became exemplary and references; thus often reproduced in smaller formats as illustrations for books by other publishers. The atlas bares over 500 maps, representing an entire era in the lavish history of town-mapping. Earlier collections of city views were heterogeneous productions, limited in scope, and often made no meaningful attempt to render the subjects with any degree of realism. The Civitates, by contrast, contained hundreds of views, including many of smaller towns for which no earlier representations are known, depicted with unprecedented accuracy. Braun corresponded extensively with map sellers and scholars from different cities and countries to achieve the highest level of accuracy in his mapping. In addition, the authors also carried out their own investigations, through detailed on-location drawings of panoramic views of the towns made from some high point. It took over forty years to collect the hundreds of plans contained in the Civitates. The plans, each accompanied by Braun's printed account of the town's history, situation and commerce, form a lavish armchair-traveler's compendium, and provide a uniquely comprehensive view of urban life at the turn of the six.
