A detailed panoramic copperplate engraving of the city of Cologne (Cölln) viewed from across the Rhine river. The entire scene is enclosed within a decorative rectangular border of fruit and floral garlands. At the top center, an ornate scrolling cartouche contains the city's name. In the foreground, a hilly landscape features several figures: on the left, a man rides a donkey carrying large panniers; in the center, a woman walks with two children; and on the right, a group of three figures rests on a rocky outcrop. The middle ground shows the wide Rhine river with several sailing vessels. On the near bank, a small settlement is labeled "Duytz" (Deutz). The river itself is labeled "Rhen Flu." (Rhenus Fluvius). The background is dominated by the extensive skyline of Cologne on the opposite bank, showing numerous church spires, towers, and the prominent silhouette of the then-unfinished Cologne Cathedral. The sky is filled with soft, billowy clouds.
