This detailed engraving, "Plattegrond van Frankfurt am Main," is an anonymous work dating after 1657, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The map depicts the city of Frankfurt am Main from a bird's-eye perspective, showcasing the intricate street plan, defensive fortifications, and the meandering river Main. The engraving's meticulous detail, including labeled buildings and streets, makes it a valuable historical document for understanding the city's layout and urban development during this period. This map is a beautiful example of 17th-century cartographic art.
