Plus de quatre siècles après sa publication originale, découvrez un joyau de cartographie urbaine et d'instruction civique. Cette réimpression de grande qualité comprend les plus belles planches couleur du Civitates Orbis Terrarum, magnifique collection de gravures de plans de ville produites entre 1572 et 1617.

Avec ses cartes, vues à vol d'oiseau et plans de toutes les grandes villes d'Europe, ainsi que des villes les plus importantes d'Asie, d'Afrique et d'Amérique Latine, ce chef-d'oeuvre de la cartographie urbaine nous offre une vue globale de la vie urbaine au tournant du XVIIe siècle. Édité et annoté par le théologien Georg Braun et accompagné de bon nombre de gravures de Franz Hogenberg, cet ouvrage comprend également les réalisations de plus d'une centaine d'artistes et cartographes qui n'ont pas simplement proposé des vues de villes mais y ont également introduit des éléments complémentaires, comme des personnages en costume local, des scènes de cour ou des détails topographiques qui aident à rendre compte de la situation géographique, du pouvoir commercial et de l'importance politique de chacune des villes.

Cette réédition de TASCHEN replace les planches dans leur contexte grâce à des extraits choisis des textes de Braun sur l'histoire et l'importance de chaque centre urbain, ainsi que des commentaires détaillés permettant de situer chaque plan de ville dans son contexte cartographique et culturel.
