Add to basket120 x 170 mm., in fine condition. A superb bird's-eye view of the walled and fortified city of Zurich in Switzerland as published by Sebastian Munster in the 'Cosmographia'. It is set on a full sheet of text in German. The detail is quite remarkable with each individual building and house beautifully rendered. Munster was a renowned hebraist and geographer. The "Cosmographia" was first published in 1544 just four years after his first publication of Ptolemy's "Geographia". It was a large compendium of topographical information which was consistently expanded during its lifetime. Later publication of the "Cosmographia" was by his step-son Heinrich Petri. Burmeister; Oehme "Introduction to the Facsimile of the 1550 Edition of Munster's Cosmographia"; Fauser, A. 15958; Shirley Atlases in the BL T.Mun 1a.
