Description: Nice old color example of Braun & Hogenberg's important early town view of Tunis.

The view appeared in Braun & Hogenberg's Civitatus Orbis Terrarum, the most important town view book of the 16th Century. Condition Description: Fine original color. Minor printer's crease at bottom right.
