Issued 1685, Amsterdam by Guicciardini.

Charming late 17th century miniature engraved city plan map with very attractive hand color. Key at top left identifies eight important features within the plan. Dozens of tiny sailing ships, endless garden designs, truly a remarkable feat of micro-level engraving.

Remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Any age flaws mostly minor and easy to overlook or forgive.

Original center fold as issued.
