"Map of Poznan and Gruczno from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable work from the seminal city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which was edited and partly created by Georg Braun and primarily engraved by Franz Hogenberg. Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist known for his miniature paintings, illuminations, and illustrations, contributed to the atlas with his detailed and intricate maps. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617, is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography and was the first systematic collection of city views and plans, greatly influencing the conception and perception of urban spaces in the late Renaissance.

The "Map of Poznan and Gruczno" is a particularly fine example of Hoefnagel's work, showcasing his attention to detail and his skill in rendering urban landscapes. Poznan, one of the oldest cities in Poland, is depicted with its historical layout, highlighting its defensive walls, prominent buildings, and the urban grid that characterized the city during the Renaissance period. Gruczno, a smaller locality in Poland, is also depicted, though its representation is less detailed due to its lesser significance at the time.

This map is not only a valuable historical record of the urban geography of Poznan and Gruczno in the late 16th and early 17th centuries but also an exemplary piece of Renaissance artistry. It reflects the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the period, including the burgeoning interest in empirical observation and the systematic documentation of the world's diversity. The map's inclusion in the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" underscores its importance as a source for understanding the historical urban development of these Polish localities and the broader European context of city planning and representation during the Renaissance.
