Title: View of Fanar in the Aegean Archipelago with Bridge and Ships, ca. 1680

Description: This copperplate engraving showcases a detailed view of Fanar (possibly Fener or another location in the Aegean Archipelago). The scene features a long arched bridge spanning the water, connecting the fortified town to the mainland. Ships with billowing sails are shown navigating the calm waters, while the town’s fortifications and architecture are prominently displayed. This work, attributed to Jan Peeters as the delineator and published by Jacob Peeters, reflects the strategic and architectural significance of Mediterranean towns during the 17th century.

Condition: Good condition with clear impressions and fine detail. Light foxing is visible, especially in the margins, along with minor handling marks. Slight edge wear but this does not detract from the overall appearance.
