Description
A view of the city of Rhodes, based on the woodcut in Bernhard von Breydenbach's 'Peregrinationes in Terram Sanctam', 1486. It shows the city from the sea with a galleon and galley in the foreground.
The view is rare (Bifolco records only three institutional copies), perhaps because the plate was damaged. The bottom left edge has been snapped and what appear to be three bolts run along the printed border at bottom.
