View of the Old Mexico City, built over the ruins of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán from 1520, and Cusco, ancient capital of the Inca Empire conquered by the Spanish of Francisco Pizarro in 1533. This is one of the few views of this city built in the 30-40 years after their conquest by Europeans. A little faded on top. Dimensions : 40,5x52 cm. Dimension image : 27x47 cm Period : 1572-1617 The “Civitates Orbis Terrarum” (Atlas of Cities of the World) was the second oldest printed atlas in the history of world cartography and the first atlas totally dedicated to topographical views. The first volume of this collection was published in Cologne in 1572; the others following in 1575, 1581, 1588 and 1598. The sixth and final volume appeared in 1617, just before the extensive devastation wreaked by the Thirty Years’War. The edition appeared in Latin, German and French issues. Its principal creators and authors were the theologist and editor Georg Braun and the engraver and publisher Frans Hogenberg.
