Braun and Hogenberg's 1572 map of Jerusalem
Description

Between 1572 and 1617, Georg Braun, editor, and Franz Hogenberg, engraver, produced the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, a multi-volume collection of views of cities of the world published to complement the first modern atlas, Abraham Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, a map collection first published in 1570. Collector Jack Sosiak's large group of Braun and Hogenberg's city views are exhibited, together with related city views from Penn's own collections. This exhibition is presented in conjunction with a gathering of contributors to the Oxford Handbook on Cities in History.

A checklist to the exhibition may be downloaded here.
