The City of Jerusalem

An imaginary plan or ancient Jerusalem, drawn after Villalpando on a reduced scale, originally for 'Josephus Flavius Works'. The text on the plan is English. The title in the banner at the top has been removed. It would previously have read 'Nehemiah. CHAP III' and was probably erased for religious reasons.
The plan was engraved by Isaac Basire.
