Francois De Belleforest's rare woodcut map appeared in "La Cosmographie Universelle ...". Published in Paris, here was a French version of Munster's Cosmography that utilised not only Munster's maps and plans but also those of Ortelius and Braun and Hogenberg. As woodcuts these are finely engraved and represent among the earliest images of any New World cities. Here the Peruvian capital is shown in good detail.
