TRAIECTUM AD MOSAM

This is an edited detail of the city plan of Maastricht that was published in Cologne in 1572. The map was included in the town atlas Civitates orbis terrarum by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590). The Civitates was one of the bestsellers of the last quarter of the 16th century. The Amsterdam publisher Jan Janssonius (1588-1664) bought the copper plates of the atlas in 1653. He used the plates for his own town atlas from 1657. After his death, the plates were sold several times until the end of the 18th century. This edited detail of the map of Maastricht has Brusselsestraat marked in yellow.
