Fabulous coastal view of the city with numerous ships in the harbor and surrounding sea. The city is surrounded by several hills, each topped by a castle. Below are three separate views of Momabza, Quiloa and Cefala. Fine color and impression. Acid burn on verso, old repair on fold, and some stains in margin, images overall very good.
