Prospect of Jerusalem

Wenceslaus Hollar Bohemian
 After Juan Bautista Villalpando Spanish

Not on view

View of Jerusalem, seen from Gethsemene, just south of the city's battlemented walls, with a compass on a square stone in the lower centre, and two insets, a key and a map of old Jerusalem as a bird's eye view, in the upper corners; illustration to John Ogilby's (publisher) 'The Holy Bible Containing the Bookes of the Old & New Testament' (Cambridge: 1660).

Prospect of Jerusalem, Wenceslaus Hollar (Bohemian, Prague 1607–1677 London), Etching; margin where Overton's address would have appeared has been trimmed off this impression and so the state cannot be determined.
