A finely detailed map centered on Bamberg, Nuremberg, and Wurtzburg, the Bavarian region of southeast Germany. It shows towns, fortresses, monasteries, roads, forests, lakes, and rivers. The title cartouche includes putti and Roman heraldry. Another cherub presents the scale and key cartouche. Alternate German title runs above the upper neatline: Oberer und Groster Theil des Gantzen Hochlobl: Franckischen Craisses, in Welchem die Bistumer Bamberg, Wurtzburg und Aichstet.

A nice impression with contemporary color. There is a centerfold separation entering 0.5" into map image at left that has been closed on verso with archival tape and light soiling that is almost entirely confined to the blank margins.
