Beautiful view of 17th century of the city of Trapani from the work Sciagraphia Cosmica also known with the title of "Das ist Newes Emblematisches Buechlei, dainen in acht Centurijs die vornembste Stat, Vestung, Schlosser der ganzen Welt".
The Sciagraphia Cosmica, was enlarged under the vision of Kieser after the death of Meisner in 1625, getitng to a composition of 800 very beautiful views.Each work has acarchterized by a saying above the engraving, and of verses in latin and german. Between the engravers and illustrator there are Matthäus Merian, Sebastian Furck, Christian Stimmer and perhaps also Meisner who created the work and contrinbuited to a part of the prose. (Cfr. Cremonini pag. 54/58, 45a).
