The Perspective Map of the City of Wrocław (Civitates orbis terrarum. Urbium praecipuarum totius mundi), depicted at a bird’s eye view at a scale of around 1:4300, was published by Georg Braun in the fourth volume of the epoch-making Civitates orbis terrarum, along with seventy-four other prints of selected European cities. The engraved copperplate (48.5×36 centimetres) was coloured by hand and created by Frans Hogenberg on the basis of the first metered plan of Wrocław (which was lost during the war), was made at scale of 1:1300 by Frederick Hendrick Vroom and Friedrich Gross. The map has a north-western orientation that is indicated by the compass stylised as a wind rose. The name “WRATISLAVIA” is featured under the top frame, while the top corners contain the coats of arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the city of Wrocław. EachThe of the bottom corners each contains a legend that identifies the most important buildings in the city. Until the early 19th century, this map was more accurate in terms of cartometry that many later maps of Wrocław.
