This view of Stettin (Szczecin) in Poland is from Werdenhagen’s ‘De Rebuspublicis Hanseaticus Tractatus’ published in 1641. All of the plates were the work of Matthaus Merian (1593-1650). Born in Basle, Switzerland, he was one of the finest engravers of the seventeenth century. He was renowned for his town plans and views. He married the daughter of Theodore de Bry. Szczecin is a town on the Oder River, near its mouth with the Baltic Sea. Shirley (2004) G.Werd 1a no. 74.
