The engravings are prized by collectors for their of displays of fruit flying in the sky above beautiful landscape scenes depicting towns or palaces and estates in Germany, Austria and Italy.

There is a very small chip in the upper paper edge on the right and another at the left edge, where the print was previously bound. It is otherwise in excellent condition.
