Engraved map, 27.3 x 32.5 cm (10 3/4" x 12 3/4"), colored small cartouche, rest of map is uncolored. A few light stains and soilmarks, a little darkened along centerfold, right margin trimmed close, small hole; otherwise very good. Mathhaus Merian (1593-1650) was a well known engraver that would run a publishing house in Frankfurt. Merian's map of Poland provides excellent detail, and is nicely balanced.
