Hand-coloured copper engraving measuring 195x490 mm. Fascinating view of the city taken from ‘Novum Italiae Theatrum’, with a scene of falcon hunting and everyday life in the Venetian countryside in the foreground. Mortier, a publisher active in Amsterdam at the beginning of the century, reprinted Blaeu's ‘Theatrum Civitatum...Italiae’ of 1663, adding a fourth volume on northern Italy and Tuscany. Excellent copy.
