Koeman IV, map 3184, ed. 41:1-3 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A birds-eye-view of Oradea (German: Großwardein), the capital city of Bihor County in the western part of Romania. - Small old brownish spot in upper centerfold. - Fine, dark impression. - This view of Oradea 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.
