This is a striking map of the Danube River valley in Austria. Vienna is prominently featured and the map is filled with tiny villages, cities, mountains, forests and lakes. Three decorative cartouches grace the map including a coat of arms. This is Jansson's version of the nearly identical map originated by Jodocus Hondius and later published by Blaeu. It is based on the cartography of Wolfgang Lazius. French text on verso.
