AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful view of Utrecht behind the city walls. The Dom in the center.
In the foreground, a rural landscape with houses along the Vecht outside the fortress.
Title 'Vtrecht' at the top center. Above the image, in typographic script: 'Comm. Rer. Germ. Liber III', with the page number '682' at the top left. Likely from an earlier edition of Ludovico Guicciardini's 'Omnium Belgii Sive Inferioris Germaniae Regionum Descriptio', Arnhem, Johannes Janszoon, 1616, Latin edition, or a later one, since our copy is not exactly the same as the cityscape in the aforementioned 1616 edition.
Excellent condition, fully intact page measuring 18.1x23.3 cm, with ample margins, not folded, not colored, verso: description of 'Tigurum Helvetiae, Zurich' in Latin.
