JANSSON, Jan : Cantebrigia, Opulentissimi Angliae Regni …

325 x 445 mm., with very fine modern wash colour, a couple of filled worm holes in the bottom margin, well away from the image, otherwise in good condition.

A fabulous plan of Cambridge which was first published in Braun & Hogenberg’s ‘Civitates Orbis Terrarum’ in 1575. Jan Jansson later acquired the plate following the death of Abraham Hogenberg. Before he published it he removed the figures which were in the foreground and published it in his town books. The famous Colleges of the University town are depicted along with the castle built in 1068. A key identifies 19 locations. The Latin text to the verso describes the city. Koeman (1967-70) Ja15 no. 8.
