Very lovely b/w aquatint showing a view of the city of corfu, located on the homonymous greek island. Very good conditions, with a light stain at the bottom. The civitates orbis terrarum (atlas of the cities of the world) was the second oldest printed atlas in the history of world cartography and the first atlas totally dedicated to topographical views. The first volume of this collection was published in cologne in 1572; the following in 1575, 1581, 1588, and 1598. The sixth and final volume appeared in 1617, just before the extensive devastation wreaked by the thirty years’ war. This artwork is shipped from italy.
