Koeman IV, map 4817, ed. 41:1-3 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A birds-eye-view of Vienna.

- 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. - A crack in the centrefold at the bottom (ca. 3 cm to the text under the picture) professionally rastored.
