This splendid map of the area around Paderborn in Westphalia features a panoramic view of the city at top. The map covers the region from the Weser River in the east, to Waldeck in the south, and reaches to Lippe in the west. Forests and mountains are graphically depicted. A cartouche at left gives a description and brief history of Paderborn, and also includes the legend. The decorative title cartouche features symbols of academia, hunting, and the harvest. Engraved by Lotter.
