This small map of Luxembourg extends to Namur in the north, Trier in the east, and Metz in the south. The map is filled with many tiny engraved cities, forests and rivers. The title and scale of miles are both enclosed in decorative strapwork cartouches. German text on verso. This map appeared in only two editions of the Atlas Minor and is therefore quite scarce.

Condition: A

A dark impression on paper with a fleur-de-lis watermark, minor toning, and scattered foxing confined to the blank margins.
