"Spir", issued 1672, Amsterdam, by Mallet. An attractive little 17th century engraved view of the city of Spires on the Rhine River in Germany. Mallet was a well traveled military engineer and geographer who worked in 17th century France under King Louis XIV. 

This wonderful detailed engraving of this city is from his scarce monumental work "Description de L'Univers". Certainly by virtue of its date a rather uncommon view of this city in Germany. In VG+ to near excellent antiquarian condition. With expert hand coloring. Sheet measures 4 " W x 7 1/8 " H; engraved image measures 3 5/8" W x 6 " H. Quite a charming 17th century view by Mallet.
