Gezicht op Enköping en Norrtälje 1695

"Gezicht op Enköping en Norrtälje" (View of Enköping and Norrtälje), an etching by Erik Reitz, depicts two Swedish towns in 1695. This detailed, bird's-eye view showcases the architectural landscape and surrounding countryside. The upper view of Enköping highlights a church and a cluster of houses, while the lower view of Norrtälje focuses on its waterfront, bustling with ships and harbor activity. The engraved lines and delicate shading create a sense of depth and realism. Reitz's work is a fascinating historical glimpse into the urban development and maritime life of 17th-century Sweden.
