"Bohemia Newly described", Speed, John

A lovely copper engraved carte-a-figures map. It covers the heart of the present-day Czech Republic, the ancient kingdom of Bohemia. Includes seventeen engraved vignettes at top and sides: Views of Prague, the Emperor’s Court and principal cities of Czalsa, Comethau, Polm, Schlani & Laun. Side borders illustrate five different levels of Bohemian society from King & Queen to countryman & countrywoman, all in fabulous costume. English text on verso.
