Views of the five northern and western African coastal towns on one sheet:   Tangiers, Tzaffin, Septa (Ceuta), Arzila, and Sala.  Latin text on verso.

Braun and Hogenberg complied the famed Civitates Orbis Terrarum of six volumes in Cologne in 1572-1618. It was the first atlas of towns, places, and views showing the known world.  Braun, a Canon of the Cathedral at Cologne, complied the text on verso describing the views.  Hogenberg engraved the views themselves.

Fine condition overall with one spot on bottom right of map.
