Renaissance print Aquisgranum, vulgo Aich, ad Menapiorum fines, perantiqua Imperij urbs... depicts the German city of Aachen in the mid-16th century. Artist Henry Steenwijck drew and painted the copperplate engraving, as evidenced by a signed banderole in the upper right corner. He may have also engraved the piece, though the engraver remains unclear. The map first appeared in the second printing of volume one of Georg Braun's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, c. 1582. Infused with Renaissance innovations such as the newly-favored bird's-eye view, Aachen depicts its namesake relatively accurately, despite deliberately widened streets to increase the legibility of names. Like the others in the series, the print relies on a limited palette of red, blue, and green watercolor paint; the dominance of green in this particular map reinforces the fertility of Aachen's surrounding land. Miniature figures in the bottom left corner, not to scale with the rest of the piece, allow viewers to glimpse local garb of the area. Aquisgranum, vulgo Aich, ad Menapiorum fines, perantiqua Imperij urbs... provides a brief yet captivating sense of life in 16th-century Aachen.

Aurelia Franciæ Civitas ad Ligeri Flussita [Orléans]
Aurelia Franciæ Civitas ad Ligeri Flussita [Orléans]
Aurelia Franciæ Civitas ad Ligeri Flussita, a 16th-century print, features an accurate bird's-eye view of Orléans, France. The copperplate engraving derives from François de Belleforest's 1575 translation of cartographer Sebastian Münster's text Cosmography, though the artist, engraver, and colorist of this version remain unknown. Published as plate 6 in volume 3 of Georg Braun's Civitates Orbis Terrarum c. 1583, Orléans accompanied an alternate perspective of the city, lacking the impressive bird's-eye view. Orleans, along with most of the prints within Civitates Orbis Terrarum, employs a distinct color scheme of red, blue, and green, and the prevalence of red shifts the viewer's focus to the city instead of to surrounding features. The artist's use of directional hatching and crosshatching endows the print with convincing depth and value, while the inclusion of tiny figures at the bottom right corner adds cultural relevance such as the traditional fashions of the region. With vivid colors and believable perspective, Orleans exhibits a stunning display of realism for its time.

Realistic print Lille. Insula. captures the geography and culture of 16th-century Flanders town Lille. Though the artist, engraver, and colorist are unknown, the map stems from the works of cartographer Jacob van Deventer, also known as Jacob Roelofszof. Published as plate 19 within the third volume of Georg Braun's Citivitates Orbis Terrarum c. 1583, Lille. Insula. owes its success in conveying perspective to newly popular Renaissance mathematical techniques, allowing the artist to retain the relative heights of the buildings within the city while presenting a view from above ground. The print ties to others within Braun's series through its color palette, consisting primarily of red, blue, and green watercolor paint. Human figures standing along the bottom edge of the map provided original viewers with an idea of the fashions and occupations of typical citizens of Lille, with both vibrant colors and accurate perspective.

Middelburgum, Selandiae Oppsitu, Opere, et Mercimoniis Florentiss
Late 16th-century print Middelburgum, Selandiae Oppsitu, Opere, et Mercimoniis Florentiss depicts the city of Middelburg at the height of the Renaissance. Drawn and engraved by Frans Hogenberg (sometimes spelled Franz Hogenberg), the copperplate engraving appeared as plate 28 within volume 2 of Georg Braun's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, c. 1575. Praised for its remarkably accurate bird's-eye perspective, the print only deviates slightly from life by widening the streets for clarity of street names. Hogenberg's directional hatch and crosshatch marks imbibe the city with plausible depth and value, while the limited palette of watercolor paint, applied by an unknown colorist, unifies the piece with others in the series. Viewers also receive a glimpse into local culture from the figures at the bottom edge, sporting traditional clothing. The minute detail and realism found within the plate bring the city of Middelburg to life.

Late 16th-century print Middelburgum, Selandiae Oppsitu, Opere, et Mercimoniis Florentiss depicts the city of Middelburg at the height of the Renaissance. Drawn and engraved by Frans Hogenberg (sometimes spelled Franz Hogenberg), the copperplate engraving appeared as plate 28 within volume 2 of Georg Braun's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, c. 1575. Praised for its remarkably accurate bird's-eye perspective, the print only deviates slightly from life by widening the streets for clarity of street names. Hogenberg's directional hatch and crosshatch marks imbibe the city with plausible depth and value, while the limited palette of watercolor paint, applied by an unknown colorist, unifies the piece with others in the series. Viewers also receive a glimpse into local culture from the figures at the bottom edge, sporting traditional clothing. The minute detail and realism found within the plate bring the city of Middelburg to life.
