"Stiria", Mercator/Jansson

This handsome map roughly corresponds to the modern Austrian state of Styria. The map is centered on Graz, with a focus on the cities along the Drava River, now one of the most popular cycle paths in Europe. It extends east to Furstenfeld and west to Volkermarkt. There is good detail of rivers, mountains, and forested areas, and large cities are illustrated with miniature castles. The title cartouche includes a warrior maiden, a putto, and a coat of arms, which appears to be the reverse image of the coat of arms of Styria.

A nice impression with contemporary color and wide original margins. There are some stains confined to the blank margins.
