1682 Turin, Italy

PROSPECTVS PLATAE VETERIS ANTE CASTRVM, Joan Blaeu (1682)In 1682 the heirs of Joan Blaeu published the fourth and fifth volumes of the town books of Italy. Both volumes concluded the series published since 1663. Each of these town books was dedicated to a special part of Italy. Apart from some city plans and city views each volume includes a large number of topographical prints of cities and buildings. In the fourth volume we find this view on the city of Turin engraved by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708).
