The "Map of Bristol" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical city map created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, miniaturist, and cartographer. This map is part of the second volume of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," was edited and published by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel contributed to the artwork, particularly in the later volumes.

The "Map of Bristol" is a detailed representation of the English city of Bristol during the late 16th century, showcasing its layout, architecture, and the surrounding landscape. It is a fine example of Renaissance cartography and art, reflecting the urban fabric of Bristol at a time when it was an important maritime trading center. The map is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, providing insights into urban development and the city's role in international trade during the Elizabethan era.

Joris Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is particularly noteworthy for his attention to detail and his skill in rendering cityscapes. His work on the "Map of Bristol" exemplifies his ability to combine accurate cartographic information with artistic embellishment, making it a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" itself was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and contained over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world. The "Map of Bristol" stands out as a significant piece within this collection, offering a window into the past and serving as a testament to the craftsmanship of Hoefnagel and his contemporaries.
