"De Heylige en Wytvermaerde Stadt Ierusalem eerst Genaemt Salem Genesis 14. Vers 18", Visscher, Nicolas

This detailed bird's-eye view was one of the most popular plans of Jerusalem during the seventeenth century. While it is imaginary, it provides great detail of the city walls and streets, with 36 principal sites numbered and keyed to a table in a scroll at left, which is held aloft by an eagle. Solomon's Temple is at upper center and Herod's Palace is located at the far left. The scenes in the foreground include the Crucifixion at left and Salomon's anointment at right. Dutch text on verso.
