Lutetia, vulgari nomine Paris. [Cologne: 1572 or later]. Hand-coloured engraved map of Renaissance Paris, (333 x 482mm). Bird's-eye view, embellished with two cartouches and decorative vignette of costumed figures in lower left corner.
A pair of highly decorative and interesting plans of two great European cities, both taken from Braun and Hogenberg's Civitates orbis terrarum. Lutetia is typical of their plans -- usually showing towns in bird's-eye view, set in picturesque and romantic backgrounds with figures of inhabitants in local dress placed boldly in the foreground. The Braun and Hogenberg plates eventually passed to Jan Jansson who reissued the plans in Amsterdam in 1657, having removed the costumed figures which by this time were no longer of contemporary interest.
