"Carte du Palatinat du Rhin et de ses Confins", Jollain, Gerard

This small map covers the County Palatine of the Rhine, one of the oldest electorates of the Holy Roman Empire. It covers present-day southwestern Germany and northeastern France, flanking the Rhine River. The map is surrounded by bird's-eye views of several important cities in the region including Philippsbourg, Heidelburg, and Worms along with fortified plans of Mannheim and Frankenthal. A note below the map describes how Louis, Grand Dauphin, took this region for France during the War of the Grand Alliance. The full sheet with illustrations measures 20.6 x 15.8".
