This map focuses on the region between Halle, Leipzig and Lutzen, centered approximately on Merseburg. The map presents excellent detail of the region, including roads, towns of various sizes, individual houses, mills, churches, and much more. The cities are illustrated as towers closely surrounded by buildings, which vary in size according to the size of the actual town. The cartouche is what is truly amazing on this map - it is a cascading, richly Baroque concoction filled with angels, putti and the Holy Grail held by a maiden who has her foot on a grim torso. Engraved by Tobias Conrad Lotter.
