Visapur India Walled City 1719 Mallet Prospect Bird's Eye View Print hand color Capt. Cook not the reverse- we showVisapor. (Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Mallet Prints, Asia, Mughal Empire, India, Visapur, City View). Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A. M. Mallet. Charming 18th century copper engraved view with lovely hand color. The image has a near folk art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason. Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina.
