Drawn accurately from nature by the famous Dutch traveler and topographer Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1726) during his voyage to the Levant.

Strong and fresh paper quality, clear imprint of the etching. Some faint age-toning on upper outer margins. Small re-enforcement with original antique paper on verso of left bottom corner. hardly visible on the front side. A rare view.
