DRESSDEN.

A wide-angle engraving of the city of Dresden seen from across the Elbe river, enclosed in a decorative frame of carved leaves and a central fruit garland at the top. In the foreground, various figures are busy on the riverbank: men pole a shallow boat, others tend to large wooden barrels, and a woman stands near a seated man on the right. The river flows through the middle, with the city skyline in the background featuring numerous church spires, fortifications, and the stone Augustus Bridge. The sky is filled with voluminous clouds. A label "Alt Dresden." appears above the right-hand section of the city.

Label identifying the right side of the city:
Old Dresden.
