Description

A beautifully detailed c. 1730 Homann Heirs map of Saxony. Covers from Bremen eastward as far as Hertzogt Pomeren and southward to Thuringen. Includes the cities of Hamburg, Berlin, Hall, Gottingen, Bremen and Minden. The map details fortified cities, villages, roads, bridges, forests, castles and topography. The title cartouche in the lower right quadrant features allegorical figures and a curiously blank heraldic crest. This map was drawn in Nuremberg by J. B. Homann and issued in Homann’s Grosser Atlas as well as in the Homann Heirs’ Maior Atlas Scholasticus ex Triginta Sex Generalibus et Specialibus
