Charming 17th century copper engraved map/print/view with lovely hand color. The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason. Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina. Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W. Printed area measures c. 5 1/2"H x 4"W. Cartographic Reference (s):Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers, vol. 3, pp. 196.[B12237].
