"Saltzburg Archiepiscopatus, et Carinthia Ducatus. Auct. Ger. Mercatore", Blaeu, Willem

Handsome map of the archbishopric of Salzburg and the Duchy of Carinthia. The map illustrates the mountainous terrain filled with rivers, lakes, forests and villages. The title acknowledges that the map is based on Gerard Mercator's map of the region. It is adorned with coats of arms displayed by three cherubs. Visually a very striking map. Latin text on verso, published between 1640-55.
