Large-scale panoramic view of Rome, by Georg Balthasar Probst after a drawn by Friedrich Bernhard Werner, who made a large series of engravings of European cities in this format. Depicting the city from a slight elevation, not quite a bird?s-eye view, but related to the tradition of earlier cartography that combined maps and landscape drawing published by Braun & Hogenberg (1572-1617), Jan Jansson (1596-1664) and others. Werner includes a numbered key at the bottom of the map identifying important sites and buildings. [cod.1192/15]
