This view of Schwyz is from the 'Topographia Helvetiae' by Martin Zeiler published 1642. It formed just one volume of the 'Topographiae' series which began in the same year with this work and extended to much of Europe. The final book covers Italy in 1688. All of the plates were the work of Matthaus Merian (1593-1650). Born in Basle, Switzerland, he was one of the finest engravers of the seventeenth century. He was renowned for his town plans and views. He married the daughter of Theodore de Bry. Schwyz is a town in a Canton of the same name situated near Lucerne and Zug bordered by Lake Zurich and Lake Lucerne. Shirley (2004) G.Meri 22a.
