Lutzenburgum Ducatus eiusdem nominis vetus et primaria urbs ... Striking and beautifully detailed copper engraved chart of the town and fortress of Luxembourg, the second of its kind, drawn in situ around 1560 by Jacob Roelofs, aka Jacob van Deventer, after the town of his birth. Map is filled with a large decorative title cartouche, two coat of arms and two paysans. The map of Luxembourg drawn by Deventer served as a model for Franz Hogenberg, who is thought to have added most of the delightful details such as the trees, the houses, the well-dressed couple, as well as the arms of Philip II, the King of Spain and Duke of Luxembourg, and those of the town of Luxembourg proper. Wormhole repair otherwise good condition.code : M2278
