"Ducatuum Livoniae et Curlandiae cum Vicinis Insulis Nova Exhibitio Geographica", Homann, Johann Baptist

This attractive map of Estonia and Latvia shows the fortified towns of Goldingen and Derpt and is filled with hundreds of tiny villages, forests, marshes, mountains, and rivers. The islands of Oesel (Saaremaa) and Dagho (Hiiumaa) are prominent in the Gulf of Riga. The sheet is decorated with a drape-style title cartouche held aloft by weapon-wielding putti and a scale cartouche in the opposite corner.
