This is a very beautiful map due to the highly decorative title cartouche filling the Baltic Sea. It covers the northern portion of Poland (Gdansk south to Torun) and the Baltic coast, Konigsburg (Kaliningrad) and into Lithuania. It is highly detailed throughout with roads, cities and towns. The title cartouche features a portrait of Frederick III, King of the Prussian dynasty, surrounded by allegorical figures.

Condition: B

A nice impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the decorative elements, on a bright sheet with very light toning along the centerfold and two small worm holes along the centerfold. Trimmed at bottom by the bookbinder with loss of the neatline.
