Description
A view of contemporary Jerusalem from the west, with the important building, named. It was engraved by Franco (whose monogram 'IAF' is under Duchetti's inscription) after Etienne Duperac's view of c.1559.
This is an example of the first state (of three or four), without the addition publisher's inscriptions of GIovanni Orlandi (1602) or van Schoel (c.1614).
Duchetti was the nephew of Rome publisher Antonio Lafreri and inherited a share of his business.
