Koeman IV, map 4780, ed. 41:1 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A view of Warsaw over the Vistula river. - 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.
