This handsome map, in the typical German style, is finely engraved and remarkably detailed. The first covers the northwest part of Germany from the Danish border south to Thuringia and from Osnabruck east to Berlin. Scores of rivers and lakes, and hundreds of villages and towns are named including several fortified cities such as Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Oldenburg, Hanover, Magdeburg, and Halle A lovely decorative title cartouche features Diana the Huntress and other allegorical figures. The map is enhanced with a small compass rose in the Baltic Sea, and two distance scales in a separate cartouche at lower left.
