About this sheet
Antique print titled 'Harlingen, Staveren, Sneck'. Views of the cities of Harlingen, Stavoren and Sneek, Friesland, the Netherlands. This print originates from 'Thooneel der Steden ende Sterckten van 't Vereenight Nederlandt met d'aengrensende Plaetsen soo in Brabandt Vlaenderen als anden Rhijn en elders verovert door de Waepenen der Groot-moghende Heeren Staeten onder het gheley vande seer Edele Hooghghebore Princen van Oranien', Antwerpen, 1680.
