"Thuringia Landgraviatus Auct. Adolario Erichio Anderslebiano", Blaeu, (Family)

Attractive map of Thuringen based on Adolar Erich's important map of 1625. Roughly centered on Erfurt, it extends to include Mansfeld, Halle, Muhlhausen and Meiningen. Embellished with a fine title cartouche surrounded by putti, a coat-of-arms, and a dedication cartouche to Joachim Vicoforius, signed by Johannes and Cornelius Blaeu. Spanish text on verso, published between 1659-72.

A nice impression with full contemporary color on a bright sheet with a large watermark of the god Atlas. There is a hint of toning along the centerfold, two small abrasions in and adjacent to Erfurt, and marginal soiling.
