17th century view of the port and the city of Havana. A splendid engraving of the bustling Cuban capital and the famous El Morro fortress. Although a somewhat imaginary and exotic concept of the city with grand churches, the lively composition depicts the importance of this well-fortified town and thriving port on the Spanish trade route. The foreground is filled with naval activity including a richly decorated galleon firing a salute. Original antique coloring copper engraving by Montanus Arnoldus. Size 30.4 x 37.4 cm.Provenance: Private Collection, Amsterdam
