About this sheet

Antique print titled 'Egrana civitas olim de imperio Romanorum (..)'. Important early view of the walled town of Eger, or Cheb, in the Czech Republic, including the city's coat of arms and the prominently labeled Church of Saint Nicholas. This print originates from Münster's 'Cosmography', published 1554. Münster's Cosmography was one of the most influential geographical works of the 16th century. It was published in a number of editions over a half century and was continuously revised and updated to include new illustrations and updated information.
