DESCRIPTION

This is a beautiful and striking example of Homann's map of Franconia, a portion of Bavaria in southern Germany.  The map is beautifully hand-colored in outline and wash as published.  The map extends from the Danube River in the southeast near Regenspurg (Regensburg) north past Nuremberg and on to Coburg.  The map shows relief, forests, towns, castles, fortifications, churches, and other information pictorially. A decorative cartouche is in the upper right, with legends in both lower corners.  Additionally, there is a secondary title in German across the top just outside of the neatline.
