Delicately engraved bird's-eye view of Barcelona. It shows a meticulously detailed walled city, surrounded with a patchwork of fields. The fortifications within the mountains are located, and there is a numbered key describing the main buildings and roads. Many ships sail in the sea and port of this uncommon view. Text and key along the sides.
