Berolinum - Berlin - an extremely rare early copperplate engraved panorama of Berlin with decorated coat of arms. View to the city behind river with boats and surrounding countryside with farms and a mill, with Latin key to the buildings below. Drawn by Friedrich B. Werner, engraved by Johann G. Ringle and published by M. Engelbrecht in Augsburg, Germany in 1720.

Martin Engelbrecht (1684 - 1756, Augsburg) was a German Baroque engraver and publisher.

Friedrich Bernard Werner (1690-1776), was a German-born civil engineer, trained in Nice, who went on to become an accomplished copper-plate engraver, interested in subjects of cityscapes, monuments, churches, and public works. During the mid-18th century Werner travelled extensively in Central Europe documenting the architecture of its most prominent cities.
