Koeman IV, map 1033, ed. 41:1 (1617/18 B&H 6). - A birds-eye-view of the Hague. - 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. - Upper and lower margins expertly restored.
