Vue du Fond de La Ville de Geneve

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

Dessine par Perignon ptre du Roi, Grave par D. Nee.

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: In general, very good, but two creases lower left, and one foxing spot in the upper right area of the sky.
