21.18 - Namurcum , Namur, Belgium, ca 1575, by Braun & Hogenberg, Netherlands

A very detailed bird’s – eye view of the town of Namur at the confluence of Sambre and Musse rivers.  The city is seen from the northeast, with the tower of Saint-Jean-Baptiste church looming high over the city.  The print is rated Very Good [see our rating criteria on the Home page] with clean and dark impression and professional repairs to a centerfold separation that enters ½” into the image at the top and to several short tears around the left-hand coat-of- arms.  There is French text on the verso.  The print measures approximately (19.7″ x 14.6″  – 50.1 x 37.1 cm).
