Old city views offer a unique glimpse of how cities looked in earlier times. Engravers often based their work on sketches and panoramas created by artists on-site. Some perspective drawings were made from high points, such as towers or hills, to provide a complete overview of the city.
These sketches were then transformed into detailed copper engravings or woodcuts, combining accuracy with artistic flair. Cartographers and engravers frequently collaborated to create both city maps and city views, offering a full historical representation.
Old city views and historical city prints are not only valuable historical documents but also beautiful works of art. Explore our collection of antique city views and discover your current city, town, village or place of birth!
