Handcoloured engraved plan of the city of Amsterdam from Teatro Belgico by Gregorio Leti. Amsterdam, Willem de Jonge, 1690. 42 x 54 cm. At the top the title, flanked by a numbered legend, the coat of arms of Amsterdam and the earlier arms with a cog, bottom centre legend continued in a splendid allegorical cartouche. In passe-partout.
Left-hand side with barely any margin (as often) and strengethened with paper, else a very good and finely coloured copy. The map depicts among other things the fourth expansion of Amsterdam with the (never executed) allotment of the Plantagie after the 1662 design by Daniël Stalpaert.
