Koeman IV, map 3843, ed. 41:1-3 (1617/18 B&H 6). - Two views printed from one plate. Sandomierz is a town in south-eastern Poland. Biecz is a town and municipality in southeastern Poland, in Lesser Poland Voivodeship. - Fine, dark impression. - This view of Sandomierz and Biecz 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.
