This map of the German Empire is filled with towns, river systems and political boundaries. It extends from Brussels and Reims in the west to Belgrade in the east. The decorative title cartouche includes a dedication to John Egerton, 2nd Earl of Bridgewater. This map is based on the cartography of Nicolas Sanson. Richard Blome was one of the most interesting, and most active, publishers of illustrated books in post-Restoration London. The map is embellished with a large, heraldic cartouche including a dedication to Roger Vaughan. There is an excellent biography of Blome on MapForum.com.
