Historical Context: Joris (Georg) Hofnagel’s view of Seville, based on his drawings made in 1563–67, was published in the fourth (1593) volume of Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg’s great atlas of city views, the _Civitates Orbis Terrarum_. The view exaggerates the architectural symbol of the city, the Giralda (originally the minaret for the city’s great mosque before being repurposed after 1492 as the bell tower to the cathedral), in order to characterize both the city’s urban (built) and civic (communal) nature. The foreground staffage, based on a 1569 emblem by Hofnagel of the “patient cuckold,” depicts the mocking parade of a cuckold (wearing branches as antlers), his unfaithful wife behind (whipping her husband with a string of garlic), preceded by the procuress (smeared with honey to attract bees).

Historical Context: The term "atlas" derives from the books of maps produced by the famous Gerard Mercator (1512-1594), the quintessential geographer, map engraver and printer, and publisher. These books were republished posthumously in 1595 as a single work bearing the title Atlas sive Cosmographicae Meditationes. In 1604, the plates for Mercator's maps were purchased from his heirs by Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612); Hondius added new maps, such as this map of Spain, to extend the geographical coverage of Mercator's work. The Mercator-Hondius Atlas in turn spawned a host of imitators, culminating with the Blaeus' massive Atlas Major (1662).
