Amsterdam. "Amstelodamum". Orig. copper-engraving from the 6th part of Latin ed. of Braun and Hogenberg's "Civitates Orbis Terrarum". Published by A. Hierat in Cologne, 1618. With ornamental title-cartouche, another ornamental cartouche, 2 coats-of-arms and 2 figures in the lower left corner. 28:39 cm (11 x 15 1/2 inch.).

Koeman IV, map 108, ed. 41:1 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A fortification plan of Amsterdam. - This view comes from the sixth and last volume of Civitates Orbis Terrarum ("Theatri Praecipuarum Totius Mundi Urbivm Liber Sextus"), published in a much smaller edition than previous volumes, and it is therefore rarer than most of Braun & Hogenberg city views.
