View of Krakow during the siege by the Swedish army in 1655
Artist: Erik Jönson Dahlberg (1625-1702/3), engraver: Willem Swide (1660/1-1697)
Included in the work of baron Samuel Pufendorf De rebus a Carolo Gustavo Sueciae rege gestis commentariorum libri VII... The view of Krakow is a mirror reflection of one of the copies from the view in Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World) by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. The drawing presents a reliable source concerning the arrangement of the Swedish army camp and shows a true picture of the life in a camp.
1696, Nuremberg
