This matching pair of folio maps detail the German regions of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. The area shown is from Heilbronn to Nuremberg in the north to the border with Switzerland and Austria in the south. Hundreds of tiny towns fill the maps, with larger cities depicted as miniature fortified cities, including Nurnberg, Stuttgart and Augsburg. The rivers, forests, and topography are also well illustrated. Each sheet stands on its own with full borders and the title at top.
