Antique Map - Europe - Upper Rhine - Heraldry of Germany - Frankfurt - Homann
Unusual and attractive large antique engraved map "Circuli Rhenani Superioris… Joh. Baptista Homanni Norimbergae" by Homann Heirs, originates from "Maior Atlas Scholasticus ex Triginta Sex Generalibus et Specialibus…". This book was Homann's second school atlas, published after his 1719 "Atlas Methodicus". While the "Atlas Methodicus" seemed to be intended for the younger school child with its system of blank maps and indexes, this "Atlas Scholasticus" was clearly intended for the more advanced student with its use of the same maps as appeared in Homann's various editions of his atlases. The author depicts Upper Rhine region. Covers from Coblentz eastward as far as Schweinfurt, Schmalkalden and Mulhausen; northwards as far as Gottingen; and southwards as far as Darmstadt and Wertheim. Includes the cities of Cassel, Hirschfeld, Fulda, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Nassaw, and Marpurb. The map details fortified cities, villages, roads, bridges, forests, castles and topography. The title cartouche in the upper left quadrant features twenty-one heraldic crests, each representing a major city. Curiously, four are blank. Legend with cherubs in lower right quadrant. This map was drawn in Nuremberg by J. B. Homann and issued in Homann’s Grosser Atlas.
The work is in good condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or fox or mottled marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
