This framed 17th-century woodcut by Matthäus Merian features a panoramic view of Düsseldorf as seen from across the Rhine. The composition is rendered in a warm ivory palette, complemented by subtle sepia tones, muted grays, and the distinct black of historical prints. Meticulous hatching brings out architectural details and the riverside landscape, accentuated by gentle hand-tinting in beige and faint verdigris. The work is presented in a classical proportion, set within a light, neutral mat and a slender wooden frame with a muted metallic gold finish, lightly distressed to reveal hints of patina. Period details include a calligraphic ribbon with a German inscription and the city crest at the upper right, offering an authentic touch true to early modern cartographic aesthetics. The print’s surface is subtly textured without gloss or modern lamination, protected behind glass, and both the artwork and frame present minor signs of age: slight abrasions and age-related marks, yet no significant damage or foxing. The overall state is very good, with careful conservation contributing to its enduring clarity and antique character. This piece echoes the voice of a 17th-century European cartographer—an observer who recorded the world with academic discipline and a subtle narrative flair. The interplay of line and tonal shading evokes stories of explorations, dreams of faraway cities, and the dual nature of such prints as both scientific documents and objects of admiration. Its gentle handwork,
