Köping — Van der Meulen

A finely detailed early eighteenth-century copperplate engraving offering a panoramic view of the historic Swedish town of Köping, capturing its architecture and surrounding landscape.

Engraved by I. van der Meulen. From Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna. Published in Stockholm, 1704.

This print belongs to the tradition of topographical views popular in the Baroque era, which meticulously documented European towns and cities. Such views served both as records and as expressions of civic pride, offering a window into the urban fabric of Sweden during its 'Age of Greatness'.

Copperplate engraving. Sheet size not measured. Very Good condition, with minor age-toning and some foxing consistent with its age.
