After von Gundling, this was the most accurate map of the region at the time. Centered on Berlin, the map also includes the walled cities of Saltzwedel, Magdenburg, Wittenberg, Crossen, Driesen, Bramburg, Konigsberg, and many more. Very decorative cartouche features a beautifully rendered Crest of Brandenburg. Engraved by G.P. Busch.
