| Early woodcut view of Istanbul (Constantinople) with an elaborate illustrated border and a key to the city's most important buildings. Published in Du Pinet's rare city atlas Plantz, pourtraitz et descriptions de plusieurs villes. It is almost a direct copy of Sebastian Munster's map of the city, but with added decorative elements.
