Amsterdam.
1683M16085.75" x 4.25"-14.6 x 10.7 cm. Copperplate engraving. Fine. A charming early view of Amsterdam Netherlands with ships in the foreground and the town in the background. Economic prosperity abounded during the 17th century coining it the "Golden Age" for Dutch culture. Much of this wealth stemmed from sea trade both within Europe and overseas in Africa Asia and the Americas. The economic boom resulted in more canals being created around the city for the quick transportation of goods. Published in Mallet's "Description de l'Univers",
