Georg Braun, a canon from Cologne, and Frans Hogenberg, an engraver from Mechelen who worked in Antwerp and Cologne, were responsible for the monumental Civitates Orbis Terrarum (1572-1617), the first major atlas devoted to the world's cities. Braun was responsible for the editorial concept, collecting the drawings and writing the texts, while Hogenberg engraved the plates, whose precision and liveliness made the work famous.
