Handsome bird’s eye view of Schaffhausen, with the Rhine in the foreground. Key to the important buildings along lower edge, title at upper centre. This town plan was one of many engravings originally published in Merian’s Theatrum Europaeum that were incorporated into later editions of Gottfried’s chronicles.
Verygood condition, darkened centrefold.
