German version of this colorful bird's-eye view based on Nicolas Visscher's 1657 map. The plan depicts the ancient walled city with a key locating all the major sites enclosed in a banner. In Visscher's map an eagle holds the key banner aloft; this engraver has replaced the eagle with a hooded falcon. The foreground is filled with Biblical scenes including the Crucifixion and Solomon's anointment. German text on verso.
