HOMANN, Johann Baptist : Superioris et Inferioris Ducatus Silesiae in suos XVII Minores Principatus et Dominia Divisi Nova Tabula ..

480 x 560 mm., early wash colour, with a couple of minor foxmarks, otherwise in good condition.

A fine detailed map of the region of Silesia which sits on the River Oder which flows south east to north west across the map. It bears a large decorative cartouche and inset plan of Breslaw (Breslau) held aloft by Cherubs, itself in the centre of the map. This first state example lacking the privilege is from an early edition of Johann Baptiste Homann's 'Atlas Novus Terrarum'. The city of Dresden is just featured on the left of the map.
