Antique Map of Germany (c.1660)

Description: Antique map Germany titled 'Germaniae Veteris Typus'. Antique map probably by Blaeu or based on an earlier state by W. Blaeu. Minor differences shown in the cartouches – top left has a human head in the strapwork in this map compared with what looks like a feline (leopard’s) head in  the Atlas Novus state. Similarly, this map has a human head above the centre of the cartouche in the lower right whereas the Atlas Novus state has a lion’s head and main. Source unknown, to be determined.
