Copper engraving from 2 plates, by Gabriel
Bodenehr from 'Europas Pracht und Macht', Augsburg
about 1720, 17 x 49 cm.
The view shows the town after its fortification
in 1716 - the year Prince Eugene of Savoy had
conquered it and brought it under Austrian rule.
Very good impression and condition, just
with a few minor spots.
