Parvvm Theatrvm Vrbium, a 1593 German book of city views by Abraham Saur, edited by Nikolaus Basse, giving brief histories of towns, castles and monasteries from antiquity onward for a German-reading audience. Its pictures are small woodcut panoramas of walled towns seen from a distance over rivers and hills, with dense rooftops, church spires and fortifications drawn in fine parallel hatching that a designer could adapt for historic map or skyline motifs.
