Braun & Hogenberg’s Plan of Valenciennes Crimean War Ukraine and parts of PolandThis plan of Valenciennes in northern France is from the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, one of the most significant cartographic works of the late sixteenth century, printed over 45 year period between 1572 and 1617. It was the first systematic city atlas (containing the first accurate surveys of many towns) and was inspired in part by the scope of Abraham Ortelius Theatrum Orbis Terarrum which gathered together the best available geographical sources.
