"Silesia Inferior, Sereniss ac Celciss, Principibus ac Dominis Dn. Georgio, Dn. Ludovico, Dn. Christiano…", Jansson, Jan

This is a very finely detailed map of the much disputed area of Silesia. The extensive key provides symbols for cities, fortifications, churches, universities, vineyards, mines, monasteries , and much more. The map is attributed to the Silesian cartographer Jonas Scultetus (1603-1664), who worked for both Jansson and Blaeu preparing maps of the region. The map is richly adorned with coats of arms and strapwork cartouches. Spanish text on verso.
