This highly decorative and very attractive map of the vicinity Oldenburg and Bremen shows the Jadebusen and the estuary of the Weser. The map is orientated to the right with a nice compass rose, two cartouches, two distance scales and a coat of arms. The text on verso is in English. This nice example is uncolored as issued.
