A very uncommon, panoramic city view depicting the layout of the city surrounding the temple and filled with people, soldiers, livestock and what appears to be a scene of the abduction of Jesus by the Romans. Panels at sides name the important buildings and include two full length portraits. Across the bottom are large engravings of the Vessels of the Temple. Professional repair of bottom centerfold and backed with a light Japanese tissue.
