Plan of All the Important Places in Bethlehem

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural plan. The sheet shows a floor plan, cross-section, and key, focusing on a subterranean space layout. The design outlines chambers, corridors, and staircases with annotations. The text in Italian provides details on each marked area's function. The top portion includes a circular diagram. Hatched areas distinguish different zones or materials from plain sections.
