Koeman IV, map 2145, ed. 41:1-3 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A birds-eye-view of Hrvatska Kostajnica, often just Kostajnica, a small town in central Croatia. It is located on the Una river in the Sisak-Moslavina County. - Fine, dark impression. - This view of Kostajnica is from the sixth and last volume of Civitates Orbis Terrarum, published in a much smaller edition than previous volumes, and it is therefore rarer than most of Braun & Hogenberg city views.
