Córdoba. "Corduba". Orig. copper-engraving from the 6th part of Latin ed. of Braun and Hogenberg's "Civitates Orbis Terrarum". Published by A. Hierat in Cologne, 1618. With decorative title held by 2 cherubs, a great coat-of-arms, 2 ornamantal cartouches with explanatory notes (A. - R.) and several figures and animals in the foreground. 33,5:50 cm (13 1/4 x 19 3/4 inch.).

Koeman IV, map 941, ed. 41:1 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A birds-eye-view of Córdoba. - This view comes from the sixth and last volume of Civitates Orbis Terrarum ("Theatri Praecipuarum Totius Mundi Urbivm Liber Sextus"), published in a much smaller edition than previous volumes, and it is therefore rarer than most of Braun & Hogenberg city views. - Right margin, outside the picture, expertly restored.
