Copper engraving, mm 205x691. From “Neuwe Archontologia cosmica” di Johann Gottfried. Superb decorative panoramic view of Constantinople, with legend across the bottom, enriched by scenes of everyday life, like hunters with dogs in foreground. Across the Golden Horn it shows all historical palaces, mosques and principal buildings. Good condition with minor foxing; two restored tears in bottom margin
