Anno Domini 1548. Viena Austriae Hunc Habuit Situm
|
A dramatic woodcut panoramic plan of Vienna from Sebastian Munster's "Cosmographia ...". Wolfgang Lazius, physician, historian and cartographer, supplied this view of his home city as viewed from the north. The date" 1548" and initials "HRMD" appearing at the lower centre and "HH" to the right identify the woodcutters as Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch and Heinrich Holzmuller. It seems likely that one probably executed the topography, the other the lettering and scrollwork, prominently displayed in the banner extending the full length of the image. As a large, multi-folded double sheet, there has been a little expert restoration to edges and old creases. Nevertheless, a good example.
