Thousands of tiny buildings are shown divided by the Amstel river, with the stock exchange and fish market at center, and many windmills dotting the outer city wall. At left, right and bottom there is a key with 200 numbered locations. In the foreground are numerous sailing ships and docks filling the busy port. No text on verso.
