The "Birds-eye View of Norwich, Published 1583 and Later" is a significant cartographic work by the renowned geographer and publisher Georg Braun. This detailed map is part of the monumental city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which Braun co-edited with Frans Hogenberg. The atlas, published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617, is one of the most important collections of city views and maps from the early modern period, providing invaluable insights into urban landscapes during the Renaissance.

The Norwich map, specifically, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's layout and architecture in the late 16th century. It is characterized by its meticulous detail and artistic quality, capturing the essence of Norwich with remarkable precision. The map is drawn from an elevated perspective, giving viewers a comprehensive view of the city's streets, buildings, and significant landmarks. Prominent features such as Norwich Cathedral, the River Wensum, and the city's fortifications are clearly depicted, reflecting the city's historical and cultural significance during that era.

Georg Braun's work on the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was groundbreaking in its approach to urban cartography. By combining detailed geographical information with artistic representation, Braun and Hogenberg created maps that were not only practical tools for navigation but also works of art in their own right. The Norwich map, like others in the atlas, is embellished with decorative elements, including coats of arms, figures in contemporary dress, and explanatory notes, which add to its historical and aesthetic value.

The publication of the Norwich map in 1583 and subsequent editions played a crucial role in disseminating knowledge about the city's geography and urban development. It remains a vital resource for historians, geographers, and enthusiasts of cartography, offering a window into the past and a deeper understanding of Norwich's historical landscape.
