English description:
A rare and very detailed view of the city of Aachen in decorative colours. This genuine copper engraving derives from a Latin edition of Braun and Hogenberg's "Civitates Orbis Terrarum", printed in 1575. The engraving shows a bird's eye view of the city including it's fortifications and all important buildings. The sheet is further enriched by two coats of arms and a group of noble persons in the foreground. The engraving measures 33 x 39 cm (platesize) and is in good condition. There is some very light browning due to age.
