Description
A striking old color example of Braun & Hogenberg's important early town view of Tunis. Text on verso. The image shows a siege of the port by Spanish ships under the command of King Philippe. Several canals to the inner harbour are shown and the extensive fortifications along the water, with the city proper on higher grounds beyond the inner harbour.
The view appeared in Braun & Hogenberg's wonderful Civitatus Orbis Terrarum, the most important town view book of the 16th century.
