Handsome map of Austria shows numerous spurious lakes and the course of the rivers Drau, Mur, Gurk and Lavant badly misdrawn. The rivers in the north are much more accurately represented. Oval title cartouche and scale of miles with calipers. Surrounded in a strong border and lovely original color. Ref: van den Broecke #105.
