QR Code Link to This Post
Framed dim:13 x 29 x 1/2", professionally framed in Ansbach Germany. Gold tone frame, double matted.
Antique, hand-colored panoramic town view of Ansbach, (Bavaria) likely created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg for their renowned 16th-century town atlas, Civitates Orbis Terrarum.
The image depicts a detailed, elevated perspective of the city of Ansbach (historically Onolzbach), a former princely residence in Germany.
The title text at the bottom identifies it as a "Prospect der Hochfürstlichen Residentz Stadt Anspach od. Onoltzbach".
It is a copper engraving, a common method used in the production of such maps and views during that era.
The work is considered a collectible and significant historical document, providing a rich visual record of European cities in the late 16th century.
