"Rüsselsheim" is an etching created by the prolific Czech artist Wenceslaus Hollar in the 17th century. The piece depicts a panoramic view of the town of Rüsselsheim, Germany, showcasing the town's architecture and its location on the banks of the Main River. Hollar's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of buildings, trees, and the boat sailing on the river.
