"Totius Alsatiae Novissima Tabula, qua Simul Sundgovia, Brisigavia, Ortenavia, Maxima Pars Marchionatus Badensis...", Visscher, Nicolas

This elegantly engraved map centers on Strasburg and spans the Rhine River from Germersheim in the north (just south of Speyer) to the German-Swiss border. The map is densely engraved with towns, rivers, mountains, and forests. A key in the title cartouche identifies cities (famous, small, and imperial), towns, villages, episcopal seats, castles, schools, and more. The allegorical title cartouche features two coats of arms (one of them for Alsace), putti, and a goddess, as well as two distance scales.
