A rare 16th century Italian plan of Famagusta

A rare town plan of Famagusta, after the Braun & Hogenberg plan of 1572, and published in Valegio's pocket atlas of town plans, 'Raccolta di le piu illustri et famose Città di tutto il Mondo'. Of the 322 plans in this series, 112 are signed by Valegio, six were reissues of plates engraved by Martin Rota in 1572, and the rest were anonymous, as the example. Unlike most of the plates in this publication, this map does not appear in the 1713 'Universus terrarum orbis' by Raphael Savonarola (also known as Alphonso Lasor a Varea); a plate by Rosaccio is used instead.
