Georg Braun information


A 1581 bird's-eye etching of Zürich, published by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg.

Georg Braun (also Brunus, Bruin; 1541 – 10 March 1622) was a German topo-geographer.[1] From 1572 to 1617, he edited the Civitates orbis terrarum, which contains 546 prospects, bird's-eye views and maps of cities from all around the world.[2] As principal editor of the work, he acquired the tables, hired the artists, and wrote the texts. He died as an octogenarian in 1622, the only survivor of the original team to witness the publication of volume VI in 1617.
