Description
Rare panorama of the city edited by the heirs of Jeremias Wollf in Augsburg.
The print, accompanied by a 17-item key-legend, shows numerous characters and animals in the foreground.
The Tiber follows the wrong course typical of all city views of Nordic production, but in this engraving the buildings are drawn in a much more realistic way and correspond to reality. The initial prototype for this type of panorama can be identified in the general view engraved by Israel SIlvestre in 1642.
Copper engraving, contemporary coloring, in very good condition.
