This charming bird's-eye plan of Amsterdam depicts streets, canals, buildings, the waterfront, and the fortifications surrounding the city. In top right corner is a drape-style cartouche with a decorative engraving of a Kingly figure with dignitaries and the coat of arms of Amsterdam. The title is engraved on a banner atop a monument with an oval shield ornamented with a sailing vessel. The map was engraved by Jacques (Jacob) Harrewyn (1660-1727) a well-known copper engraver who worked for many of the prominent Dutch and Belgian mapmakers.
