Published in 1588 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, this is one of the first (and rarest) printed maps of Bristol - or Brightstowe as it was known then. This map was first published in Civitates Orbis Terrarum - the Cities of the World - which was a cartographical masterpiece featuring 546 maps.
All major buildings of that period are shown along with a 15-point key of places of interest. There is a group of people if the foreground in Elizabethan dress.
This rare work is highly sought-after work and is sure to form an interesting conversation piece to any living room. This piece looks stunning mounted as shown in either our A2 or 20x16 inch framed editions.
