This is a black and white woodcut engraving depicting the city of Kotor, Montenegro, as it appeared in 1598. The city is situated at the foot of a steep, mountainous terrain, with fortifications and buildings densely packed within its walls. A river or waterway flows from the mountains down towards the sea, passing by some structures. In the foreground, on the left, there are a few figures of men, one of whom appears to be engaged in some activity near the water, possibly related to agriculture or construction. The engraving style is detailed, with fine lines used to create texture and shading for the mountains, buildings, and landscape. The title above the engraving reads "A COSTANTINOPOLI. CATARO." Below the engraving, there is text in what appears to be Croatian and English, providing contextual information about the artwork, including its publisher, date, and the historical significance of the depiction. The English text specifically mentions that the engraving captures the "essence of Kotor during the time of Hayreddin Barbarossa" and notes that the portrayal is remarkable, especially the "striking Cathedral of St. Tryphon." The image is likely an antique map or cityscape.
