This scarce woodcut view depicts Vienna on two sheets. If joined together (30.8 x 8.8"), it would form an impressive panorama of Vienna, as seen from the north at ground level. Churches and major buildings are depicted and named along the Danube River, and the sky is filled with an elaborate ribbon-style cartouche and coat of arms.
