    A dramatic view of the Peruvian (now Bolivian) silver-mining town of Potosi, with the silver mountain looming in the background behind the town and its mills for grinding and cleaning the precious ore. In Spanish, "Potosi" has become a synonym for fabulous wealth. A strong, dark impression in a beautifully preserved exemplar.

    Pieter van der Aa (1569-1733) was a Dutch publisher best known for preparing maps and atlases, though he also printed pirated editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated volumes. He also printed many maps that were often out of print, which he reissued.
