meaning :
"Rhotomagus, in French Rouen, a city in Gallia Lugdunensis on the Seine.
For the description of the plans perfectly serve the description of Braun himself :
"In almost no other city is the merchant community more experienced on water and land than in this city on the Seine. The river receives even the largest ships thanks to the nearby sea, and trade can be carried on with East and West, even as far away as India. Among the most important structures that can be seen in Rouen is undoubtedly the bridge over the Seine, which was erected with such craftsmanship that one can pay the architect the highest tribute for both structural planning and execution, especially since it was an extremely complicated and dangerous job, as the structure was exposed to tides. Nevertheless, he succeeded in erecting this quadrangular bridge with large and solid columns and buttress arches, unusually high and wide."
A beautiful period-colored plan of Rouen from the 16th century in excellent state of preservation, to the best of collections.
All in very good condition, framed contemporaneously in olive passe partout and frame decorated with a chechat.
