![[Geneva] Geneue Genff.](jpegs/27948.jpg)
[Geneva] Geneue Genff.
[n.d. c.1641]
Etching. Plate size: 235 x 340mm. 9¼ x 13¼".
Birdseye view of Geneva during the 17th century. Merian simplified and reduced his great panorama of Geneva, which was based on Claude Chastillon's (1547-1616) drawing. Drawn from the heights of the 'bois de la Baite', a wood situated to the south of Geneva, the city is on the whole represented both accurately and in detail, excepting a few inexactitudes in depicting the cathedral's towers, or the square tower located between the city gates. Mountains still take the fantastic and conventional form of sugar loaves.
