| Reverse description | A finely detailed bird's-eye perspective view of the city of Basel as seen from the northeast, depicting the urban fabric of the city with the celebrated Rhine Bridge prominently rendered in the middle ground. The Rhine River is shown with seven sailing vessels navigating its waters, conveying the city's mercantile importance. The surrounding legend reads DOMINE CONSERVA NOS IN PACE BASILEA, invoking divine protection over the city. The scene is framed by a decorative floral ornament at the opening of the legend. The engraving is executed with exceptional topographical precision in the baroque cartographic tradition. |
