Notes
In 1632 Hollar took a journey up the Rhine, during which he made drawings of the various towns, villages and landscapes he saw from Cologne to Antwerp. These drawings formed the basis for a series of German views later published in print. Prominent geographical and topographical features are sometimes labelled, especially rivers, and the scenes are often ornamented with figures. List of plates:
1. Strasbourg: the toll house
