This print shows a group of seven people standing in a line, dressed in old-fashioned clothes. Above them is a fancy banner with twisted letters in Latin. Below, a city skyline sits along a river, with buildings and a bridge. The top text is a title for a book of maps, made in 1635. The artist’s name is hidden in the words—look for *Hollar*.
