Excellent miniature scaled antique engraved view print, with exceptional hand color. With a magnifying glass it is possible to pick out dozens of individually engraved structures within the distant prospect urban view. An outstanding display of hand engraving virtuosity.

Well preserved antique item, nicer example than typical of this view, which is uncommon to begin with without color. Nice patina to image.
