| Item Description: | Relief shown pictorially. Includes index. Vertical fold line at center. This image is closely based on Braun and Hogenberg's view of Huy, originally published in 1575. This debt explains the presence, in the top left, of the arms of Bishop Gerard van Groesbeek, who died nearly seventy years before the publication of this print. Likely detached from: Novum ac magnum theatrum urbium Belgicae regiae. The Cushing Library copy is part of the Ronald L. and V. Jane Woellhof Rare Map Collection. |
