A striking regional map of western Germany, centered on Frankfurt, Darmstatt, Maintz and Heidelberg, and also shows Stuttgart, Heilbron, Wertheim, and Coblentz. The map is centered on Die Berg Strass or mountain route from Darmstadt to Heidelberg, a popular tourist tour today - via autobahn. There is remarkable detail of roads, rivers, lakes, mountains, towns, and fortified cities. The large decorative cartouche features medallion portraits of Joannes Philip and Lotharius Franciscus, putti, river gods, and other allegorical figures.

Superb impression and full contemporary color with a couple of minor printer's creases and a bit of marginal soiling.
