Title: VIENNA AVSTRIAE Wienn In Oesterreich. The text is flanked by the coat of arms of the dukedom (left) and the city Vienna (right). The fine print at the bottom-right reads Vißcher excudit. I. Houfnagel fecit.. The logo at far bottom-right contains a dedication to Kaiser Ferdinand III.
Characteristic features:
- One of earliest bird's-eye views of a city, as opposed to the previously dominating profile views.
- Detailed display of the city and its sourrounding landscape
- Shows the then still medieval appearance of the city before the paradigm shift to baroque style.
- Shows the nearly finished fortification of the city, intended as a defense against the Osman Empire. (The part of the old city wall facing the danube side isn't yet strengthened / rebuilt)
