English copperplate engraving entitled "A Plan of Lima" / "Potosi" by John Harris from Navigantium atque Itinerantum Bibliotheca; Or, a Compleat Collection of Voyages and Travels (London, 1764). 8-1/2" x 15" image (in 12-1/2" x 18-3/4" mat). Copied from a popular ca.-1680 Dutch engraving, this is an oft-repeated and somewhat fanciful scene of the silver mountain of Potosí with palm tree and large windmill in the foreground and others in the distance (neither of which had anything to do with Potosí), with fortress at the top of the mountain, POTOSI in banner at top, with additional city plan of Lima added above, choice condition (no tears or folds and only one small foxing spot below banner and extra paper stuck on above page number to right), nicely matted for framing.
Estimate: $125
