This elegantly engraved view depicts the medieval town of Feldkirch in Austria. There is excellent detail of the town and the surrounding mountains. A key in the scroll-like title cartouche identifies 30 locations of interest, including Schattenburg and the late-Gothic cathedral of St. Nikolaus. The coat of arms appears beneath the title cartouche. A compass is incorporated into the landscape at bottom left.
