Copperplate Engraving from Baron Zurlauben's topography published around 1780.

Dessine par Paris, grave par Dupare- The letters A.P.D.R. appear on the print, which means it was engraved "avec privilège du roi" - or licensed by the king - this is an annotation which one sees only on prints published before the French revolution. It indicated the print had been approved by the French censures.

Condition: This is one half of an original folio sheet which had two separate copperplate images on it.

Very good. Cut to edge of platemark at top.
