Abriss der Dryen gegeneinander Correspondierenden Vestungen Monaco, Capo di Sant Spirito und Niza di Provenza.

DESCRIPTION: Fine antique engraved bird's-eye coastal view of a small portion of the Cote d'Azur in Provence, France from Nice to Monaco. Decorated beautifully with drawings of galleys and several square-rigged sailing vessels. During this time period up to forty French galleys, stationed in Marseilles, France, provided protection and projected France's power in the region.

Fine detail and careful engraving make this a very beautiful record of the Cote d'Azur from almost 320 years ago. Legend below in German keyed to 25 important locations including Nice (Niza), Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cap Ferrat, and Monaco.

Taken from G. Bodenher's "Europeans Macht und Pracht", a series of engravings depicting city views, plans, fortresses and castles in Europe. Gabriel Bodenher was a publisher of maps and prints in Augsburg, Germany.
