About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Germania, Non ea tantum quae Rheno, Vistula, Danubio, mariqz Germanico Veteribus claudebatur; Sed tota illa continens quae hodie communiter Germanica lingua utitur'. Very rare antique map of Germany. The map first appeared in 1606, with views in margins and a portrait of the emperor. This example shows covered and cut margins, which is one of the characteristics of the map published after 1607. In the upper left corner, the signature Guiliel: Janß: (=W. Blaeu) still is partly visible. Published circa 1610.
