Framed print of 1617 hand-drawn map of what is today Budapest from a bird's eye view by 17th century artist G. Hoefnagel. Featuring latin writing.
Text on the top translates to "Buda, capital of Hungary and ancestral seat of the king, called Ofen in German."
Text at the bottom translates to " A. New outwork - B. Fortress and royal palace - C. Former church of the Holy Virgin, today a mosque - D. Vineyards - E. The Bassa of Buda - F. A barbaric tribe among the Turks, fearless and ready to commit any atrocity; they are commonly known as the Deli. They stick feathers through the skin on their heads, which makes them appear even more bloodthirsty. More can be read about them in the descriptions of the Turks by Johannes Lewenclavius."
