The perspective view is a graphic depiction of Damascus, created by Olfert Dapper in the year 1677. Olfert Dapper was a Dutch physician, historian, and geographer who authored several works on various regions of the world.

Dapper's graphic representation of Damascus provides a visual depiction of the city during the 17th century. While I cannot directly display the specific graphic here, I can describe the typical features and elements commonly found in such views during that time.

In the graphic, you might expect to see an aerial perspective or a panoramic view of Damascus, showcasing the city's architectural features, streets, and surrounding landscapes. The artwork would typically highlight notable landmarks, such as mosques, palaces, city walls, and important buildings.

The graphic might also depict the urban layout, including the city's streets, squares, and marketplaces. It could feature details of the local population engaged in daily activities, giving a glimpse into the social and cultural life of the city. The depiction may also include elements of nature, such as rivers, gardens, or hills surrounding Damascus.

Olfert Dapper's works often contained descriptive texts accompanying the illustrations, providing historical, cultural, and geographical information about the depicted places. These texts aimed to offer insights into the city's history, customs, and notable events.

Framing tips

Both type of materials, paper and canvas prints come rolled and will be need to be taken to your local framers.

The image it's printed with a border of 0.6 " (1.5 cm), for framing purposes only.

If you have already a frame, be sure you send us the exact size of the print that will fit inside the frame. We're printing on vectorial plotters so the size could slightly be more or less with 0.4" (1 cm).

If you plan to have the canvas print stretched on wooden frame, you'll need additional border, so please let us know after placing the order.

The images above was cropped from the image at the biggest size available (keeping the best quality and aspect /ratio), so, for good details please choose biggest dimensions that will suit your preferences / space.
