"Germania Austriaca Complectens S.R.I. Circulum Austriacum ut et Reliquas in Germania...", Homann, Johann Baptist

This large and boldly engraved map is centered on Salzburg and covers present-day Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bavaria and Austria. It extends from Strasburg east to beyond Vienna and from above Prague to the Adriatic and Venice. There is good detail throughout including mountains, watersheds, roads, villages and towns, and several fortified cities including Milan, Strasburg, Nurnberg, Prague, and Vienna. The large and very decorative allegorical cartouche is adorned with cherubs, figures, and eight coats of arms. At lower right is a second cartouche with a legend and distance scales.

A crisp impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the decorative elements. There is some minor extraneous creasing and a couple of archivally repaired edge tears that just enter the image at top.
