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.
