A beautiful hand colored 17th century map showing modern day Germany as it existed at this date. Nicely detailed. Title sits within a simple patterned cartouche at bottom left with the distance scale at bottom right.
What makes this map so interesting is it appears to be a very rare variant of the 1630 Mercator minor plates used in Amsterdam. This map (like many others we bought at the same time) are all but identical to the 1630 plates except the cartouches have been entirely re-worked. Indeed, there is clear visual evidence of this from the plate visible on close inspection. Very scarce (late?) 17th century map.
Nice example, VG+ clean condition, beautifully hand colored. Map measures c. 8 1/2" W x 7" H (image area measures c. 7 1/2" W x 5 1/2" H).
