An antique 17th-century copper-engraved bird's-eye town plan of Thorn (Torun) in Royal Prussia / Poland, titled THORVNIVM, showing the fortified city on the Vistula with its star bastions, streets and churches. An unframed leaf.

A detailed prospect in the manner of the great 17th-century town-book engravers (Braun & Hogenberg / Merian school); the precise publisher is not confirmed and it is offered as a 17th-century engraving on its own merits.

Please note: there is a later ink annotation ('Solfeggio') to the otherwise blank verso, as shown. Size: sheet approx. 24 x 20 cm.

Condition: good for age; toning, foxing and handling marks as expected, later annotation to verso. Unframed, sold as seen. Photographs form part of the description.

Carefully packed flat and dispatched promptly. UK and international postage; combined postage offered.
