[Sammlung von Schlachtenbildern aus der Zeit des 30jährigen Krieges]

Merian, Matthaeus · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 52 pictures

A collection of copper-engraved battle views and siege plans from the Thirty Years' War, made by Matthaeus Merian, a Frankfurt engraver and publisher of the seventeenth century, with the publisher unidentified. The plates show armies, fortified towns and rivers from high oblique viewpoints, giving a designer dense, labelled cartographic-panorama compositions to study for crowd layout and bird's-eye perspective.
