https://arinevandersteur.nl/wp-content/uploads/PR120643_1-scaled-1.jpg25602046Hand coloured copperplate engraving of the Douai, as seen from above. With explanatory title (DVACVM) in a cartouche on the top of the plate with inscription: 'DUACUM Catuacorum urbs tam situ quam incolis et literarum studiis elegantissime ornata.' This print is copied after Braun and Hogenberg (1581).This print originates from 'Lodovico Guicciardini, Descrittione di tutti i Paesi bassi (...), Antwerpen, Plantijn, 1582'. This was an influential account of the history and the arts of the Low Countries, accompanied by city maps by various leading engravers. Deys 2001.
