"Bohemiae Regnum in XII. Circulos Divisum…", Homann Heirs

The amount of detail presented here is overwhelming. Bohemia is shown in its twelve divisions with literally hundreds of towns and villages located and named. The larger towns are all illustrated as fortified. Centered on Prague, the map extends in the northwest to Plauen and to Gaya in the southeast, locating Glatz, Leypa, Pilsen, Toplitz, Saatz, Eger, Mies, Wodnian, Pistritz, Landscron and many more. It also details the watershed, roads, etc. Pictorial cartouche fills the upper right corner with figure, deer antlers, coat-of-arms. Distance scale and legend are located in a plain cartouche at lower left.
