Superb map of the region where the Nogat and Wista rivers flow into the Gulf of Gdansk. The map includes incredible detail of the rivers, streams, forests, farms, windmills, dykes, and the fortifications at Gdansk, Malbork and Elblag. The plate was originally engraved by Jan Jansson. After his death it was inherited by his son-in-law, known as Jansson-Waesberg, who published it in conjunction with Moses Pitt.
