This detailed woodcut print, titled "Salzsburg die haubtstatt in Burgtund nach der Figur von Geleghnheit abgemalet." (Salzburg, the capital city in Burgundy, painted according to its location), originates from Sebastian Münster's monumental work, "Cosmographia Universalis" (Universal Cosmography). First appearing in the 1550 edition, this panoramic view captures the city of Salzburg nestled among mountains, with intricate details of its urban layout, prominent buildings, and surrounding landscape. This print exemplifies Renaissance-era city views, blending accurate topographical representation with artistic detail to document and celebrate important European urban centers.

Sebastian Münster (1488–1552) was a highly influential German cartographer, cosmographer, and Hebrew scholar. He is best known for his "Cosmographia Universalis," first published in 1544, which was one of the earliest and most popular German-language descriptions of the world. Münster's work combined geographical and historical information with ethnographic details and city views, making it a foundational text in the development of modern geography and cartography. The woodcuts in his Cosmographia were produced by various artists under his direction.
