[BRAUN, Georg (1540-1622) & Franz HOGENBERG (1535-1590)]. Hierosolyma urbs sancta, Iudeae, Totiusque Orientis Longe Clarissima, qua Amplitudine ac Magnificentia hoc nostro aevo conspicua est, [Cologne: c. 1572]. Hand-coloured woodcut bird's-eye view of Jersualem with 5 costumed figures in the foreground, French text and initial on verso (some very light staining), 326 x 415mm.
An original leaf extracted from Braun and Hogenberg's monumental work Civitates orbis terrarum. Published between 1572 and 1617, it contained about 530 views of predominantly European cities. The work, because of its enormous decorative appeal, has also been reproduced in modern facsimile editions.
