Detailed and boldly engraved copper plate map eschews the political to show the watershed with terrific clarity. Down to the smallest river, all are named and delineated from source to mouth; also shows scores of named lakes. The map extends to show all of central Europe, extending from Belgium into Hungary and south to the Gulf of Venice. A handsome sheet decorated with an allegorical cartouche teeming with figures.
