Veduta tratta dall'edizione del 1678 della celebre Sciagraphia Cosmica nota anche con il titolo Das ist Newes Emblematisches Buechlei, dainen in acht Centurijs die vornembste Stat, Vestung, Schlosser der ganzen Welt... stampata a Norinberga. La Sciagraphia Cosmica, venne ampliata sotto la supervisione di Kieser dopo la morte di Meisner nel 1625, arrivando quindi ad una composizione di 800 magnifiche incisioni. Ogni opera è caratterizzata da un motto sopra l'immagine, e da versi emblematici (in latino o tedesco). L'opera è la combinazione di due generi allora popolari, il libro degli stemmi e il "Teatro delle città". Tra i maestri incisori e miniatori che contribuirono a questa serie ci sono Matthäus Merian, Sebastian Furck, Christian Stimmer e forse anche Meisner stesso, che concepì l'opera e contribuì a buona parte della prosa. Incisione in rame, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. View taken from the 1678 edition of the famous Sciagraphia Cosmica also known with the full title Sciagraphia Cosmica: Das ist Newes Emblematisches Buechlei, dainen in acht Centurijs die vornembste Stat, Vestung, Schlosser der ganzen Welt... printed in Nuremberg. The Sciagraphia Cosmica, was expanded under the supervision of Kieser after the death of Meisner in 1625, thus arriving at a composition of 800 magnificent engravings. Each engraving is characterized by a motto above the image, and by emblematic verses (in Latin or German). The work is a combination of two then-popular genres, the book of coats of arms and the "Town Book". Among the master engravers and illuminators who contributed to this series are Matthäus Merian, Sebastian Furck, Christian Stimmer, and perhaps Meisner himself, who conceived the work and contributed much of the prose. Copperplate engraving, with margins, in perfect condition. Cremonini pagg. 57/58, 45a.

Carta geografica tratta dal rarissimo "Anfiteatro d'Europa" edito a Venezia nel 1623. Il libro, scritto con testo di Giovanni Doglioni, fu pubbicato dall'editore veneziano Giacomo Sarzina. Illustrato da una carta del mondo e 33 carte dell'Europa ne testo. Stranamente le mappe sono riprese da quelle che illustrano l'Epitome di Ortelius incise da Philip Galle e non da quelle dell'edizione pirata della stessa opera pubblictaa a Brescia da Pietro Marchetti (1598). Si tratta pertanto di nuove lastre, che presentano picocle differenze rispetto a quelle del Marchetti, alle quali ad un primo esame assomigliano. L'opera non fu mai ristampata ed è pertanto rara. Incisione in rame, inserita nella pagina di testo descrittivo alla carta, fori di tarlo, per il resto in buono stato di conservazione. Map from the very rare “Anfiteatro d’Europa” published in Venice in 1623. The book was written by Giovanni Doglioni and it was published by the Venetian Giacomo Sarzina. Together with the text there are one world map and 33 maps of Europe. Oddly enough, these maps were realized after those shown in Ortelius Epitome, engraved by Philip Galle, and not after the pirate edition published by Pietro Marchetti in Venice. These are therefore new plates, presenting minor differences with those of Marchetti. The work has never been reissued and is quite rare. Copper engraving, included in the text page which described the map, wormholes, otherwise in good condition. G. L. King, Miniature Antique Maps, p. 106.
