This handsome pair of maps covers the Alsace region and the Rhine River valley from Speyer to Basel, showing parts of France, Switzerland and Germany. The map also includes the fortified cities of Strasburg, Colmar, Freiburg, Breisach and Schaffhausen. Each sheet stands on its own with full borders and a superb title cartouche. The cartouche on the northern sheet features a woman pouring food out of a cornucopia, and the southern sheet features a soldier, river gods, putti, and a vineyard.
