Rare prospect of Krakow from the ‘Civitates Orbis Terrarum’

A rare prospect of Krakow, less common than most of the other plans in the 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum' because it as it only appeared in the sixth and last volume. It shows the city from the west, with the neighbouring towns of Kazimierz & Kleparz. Their names are given on banners in the sky alongside their armorials. In the foreground is a procession transferring the Polish king from his castle in Krakow, Wawel, to his country residence at Lobzów. This would date the view to before 1596, when King Sigismund moved the capital to Warsaw, abandoning Wawel.
