Le Vray Portraict De La Ville De Diion

Le Vray Portraict De La Ville De Diion

click to enlarge

A scarce and early woodblock printed plan showing, in good detail, the French town of Dijon with a lettered key identifying features and buildings of note. Shown in plan-perspective, the town walls and defences are most apparent. Drawn by the engineer, architect Edouard Bredin, this appeared in a French edition of the "Cosmography". Verso text just trimmed and minor wormhole repair, nevertheless, a nice example of a fascinating plan.
