AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In excellent condition. Wide margins. Center fold as issued. Beautiful, fresh paper with slight discoloration at the edges. Some staining in the margins, hardly any spots in the image. A small piece of the lower-right edge is browned. Sharp deep-black print. Verso with Latin text.
The imposing Stedenboek (Book of Cities) by Joan Blaeu, consisting of two parts, arose toward the end of the Eighty Years' War. Initially the Stedenboek appeared in a Latin edition, later in a Dutch one. The books were bound after the buyer’s order. Because the engravings were stacked, the city descriptions (including those at the back of the engraving) could be adjusted if necessary. These city descriptions were written by both Blaeu and by the city authorities. The source for the impressive engravings, with the buildings drawn in an elevated manner, mostly dated from earlier times.
Originating from: "Novum ac magnum theatrum urbium Belgiae regiae et foederatae"
