This handsome map of Austria presents a distorted picture of the course of the rivers Drau, Mur, Gurk and Lavant with numerous spurious lakes. The rivers in the north are much more accurately represented. Oval title cartouche and scale of miles with dividers and a coat of arms adorn the sheet. This is the second state with the addition of "Stubming fl." near the center of the map. Latin text on verso.
References: Van den Broecke #105.2.
Condition: B+
A crisp impression on a clean sheet with the crossed arrows watermark commonly found on Ortelius maps. There is an archivally repaired 7" centerfold separation at bottom.
