Article description
Original copper engraving, uncolored when published. Magnificant panoramic city view of the imperial city of Copenhagen in Denmark. This fine engraving was published in the printing house of Frederic de Wit in Amsterdam. It bears in the lower right corner the publisher's imprint: , Frederick de Wit excudit.' This very rare city view was probably published seperatly in a very small edition. At the top is a title cartouche with the city name ,Koppenhaven' surrounded by the two coat of arms of Copenhagen and Denmark. At the bottom of this large panoramic city view we find descriptive text in Dutch, French, German and English language.
