BRAUN, Georg (1541-1622) and Franz HOGENBERG (c. 1528-1590). Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Cologne: Peter von Brachel: [1612]-18.
6 parts in 4 volumes, 2° (400 x 290mm). Latin Text. 6 engraved architectural titles, 361 engraved maps, views and town plans on 363 leaves, including the 2 sheet plans of Rome and Jerusalem and a duplicate plan of Bethune bound at the end of volume VI, most double page, several folding, the map of Santander hand coloured and inserted from another copy. (Occasional light browning, one map printed upside down, a few margins strengthened with old paper backing, the map of Gandauum in volume I detached, 3 titles with old pasted overlabels over ownership stamps.) Parts I-V bound in 3 volumes in uniform mid 18th century German mottled calf, blind tooled borders and inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, red edges, part VI, a reimboitage in 17th-century calf. (Slight rubbing to head and foot of spines). Provenance: Helmut Tenner, Heidelberg -- by descent to the present owners
A FINE CRISP SET OF THE UNCOLOURED ISSUE OF THE FIRST TOWNBOOKS OF EUROPE, here issued in 1612 by Peter von Brachel with the first 5 volumes in a uniform binding. Although this is one of the last issues of this famous work, it retains a striking clarity of image. It is interesting to note von Brachel's reworking of some of the views and his heavier hand in the printing and inking of the engravings in this copy, many of these maps showing a distinct clarity that is often found lacking in the many intermediate state coloured sets which used heavy colour to disguise the plate wear. cf. Koeman II B.& H. 1-6. (4)
