Two beautifully engraved and highly detailed maps on two joined sheets. The map is focused on the Meuse, Moselle and Rhine rivers that travel through central Europe, but also names hundreds of cities, towns, and villages, as well as the roads, forests and mountains depicted with charming pictorial topography. Two beautifully engraved, decorative title cartouches flanked with putti, and a pair of small compass roses adorn the map.
