AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
One of the earliest views of Aleppo (Syria) - proudly called "HALAB" until today by its native Arab and former Jewish inhabitants.
Aleppo was the third biggest city in the Ottoman empire and served as the final station of the SILK ROAD. The view is taken from outside the old city walls with the Citadel up-hill at the center.
At the foreground a scene of Ottoman horsemen involved in a tournament, equipped with bats and arches.
Etching dated 1677. Size of whole sheet: 37.5 X 31 cm . Original centerfold.
Very good and clear impression of the etching. Good paper quality. Beautiful large paper mark (two lions holding a coat of arms). With two superficial creases which can only be seen when held up (please inspect the photographs).
RARE FIRST EDITION which was published in Dutch (from: Naukeurige beschryving van gantsch Syrie, en Palestyn of Heilige Lant...,) -
