Koeman IV, map 2624, ed. 41:1-3 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A birds-eye-view of Marienberg, a town in Germany in the southern part of Saxony. - 2 small old brownish spots at the bottom and old folding on the right. - Fine, dark impression. - This view of Marienberg 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.
