Copper engraving, 495x570 mm, original colouring. Large plan with perspective panorama taken beyond the bank of the Xarama river in the lower part flanked by two vignettes of the festival of the bulls on the left and of homage to Philip II on the right. Good example with slight marginal water traces, minimal marginal restorations. Seutter, after an apprenticeship with Homann in Nuremberg, moved to Augsburg around 1710, opened his own business, surpassing the master in terms of beauty: his papers always have brilliant colors and elaborate cartouches. Nice copy, small reinforcement in the center of the margin and slightly visible central horizontal fold.
