Created in 1599, this coloured engraving offers a fascinating birds-eye view of the Polish capital during that era. The intricate details depicted in this map transport us back to a time when Warsaw was bustling with activity. From the majestic Vistula River flowing through the city to the numerous boats and barges navigating its waters, it is evident that trade and transportation played significant roles in shaping Warsaw's identity. One cannot help but be drawn to the vibrant crest adorning this map, symbolizing Poland's rich heritage and noble lineage. The presence of Polish nobles further emphasizes their influence on both political and cultural aspects of life in Warsaw.
