Part of Daniel Meisner’s Thesaurus Philo-Politicus, this engraving blends allegorical virtue with topographical accuracy, serving as both a city view and moral emblem. San Sebastián is rendered with detailed urban structures, a mountainous backdrop, and the symbolism of Christian salvation, exemplifying the series’ fusion of spiritual and civic iconography.

Daniel Meisner was a Bohemian humanist and poet known for his emblematic city prints that linked moral themes to geographic locales. His engravings, often published in Frankfurt or Nuremberg, reflect Baroque moralism, Reformation piety, and an encyclopedic worldview.
