"Sueviae Nova Tabula", Blaeu, Willem

This is Blaeu's edition of the Hondius map of Baden-Wurttemberg (Schwaben) that includes parts of Switzerland and Bavaria. It is well engraved with remarkable detail throughout. Centered on Ulm, the map details the Danube River valley and includes Augsburg, Stuttgart, Zurich, Lucerne, Basel, Heidelberg and Lake Constance. Blaeu obtained 39 plates upon Jodocus Hondius' death on August 18, 1629. Blaeu deleted Hondius' name and added his own imprint. The sheet is embellished with four cartouches including a very decorative title cartouche. Latin text on verso.
