From the 'Topographia Gallia' by Martin Zeiler published 1655-61. All of the plates were the work of Matthaus Merian, one of the finest engravers of the seventeenth century. A fine detailed plan of the town of Honfleur in Normandy. The buildings are all displayed in birds eye profile. The town is not easily recognisable as their has been so much of the Channel reclaimed, the town is now set back from the coast.
