Braun, George
Georg Braun (1541 – March 10, 1622) was a German deacon, viewmaker, and typo-geographer based in Cologne. Along with Franz Hogenberg (1535 - 1590), Braun is best known for his publication of the highly influential city atlas Civitates Orbis Terrarum. The six volume work, with some 546 views, was published between 1572 and 1617 and intended a companion to Abraham Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum - thus certain obvious stylistic similarities. In compiling the Civitates Braun took on the role of editor while most of the engraving work was completed by Franz Hogenberg. Braun died, as he was born, in Cologne.

This is a superb original color example of Braun and Hogenberg's city map / view of Weimar. While not the first view of the city published in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, in 1582 it was the first to command a full sheet. The 1574 edition of the Civitates included a view of the city which shared a sheet with Jena, Erfurt, Gotha, and Fulda. As was the case with many of the views that were similarly clustered, Braun and Hogenberg would later dedicate this full sheet to the plan. (more details)
