About the Item

Antique map titled 'Franconia multa numerat loca deiparae sacra in quibus magna recipit à dei matre beneficia.' Detailed uncommon map of the Franconia region in Germany. Source unknown, to be determined. Artists and Engravers: Heinrich Scherer (1628-1704) was a Professor of Hebrew, Mathematics and Ethics at the University of Dillingen until about 1680. Thereafter he obtained important positions as Official Tutor to the Royal Princes of Mantua and Bavaria. It was during his time in Munich as Tutor to the Princely house of Bavaria that his lifetime’s work as a cartographer received acclaim and recognition. Scherer’s world atlas, the Atlas Novus, first published in Munich between 1702 and 1710 and reissued in a second edition between 1730 and 1737, forms a singularly unusual, almost revolutionary work in terms of the development of European mapmaking at the beginning of the 18th Century. Condition: Very good, given age. Original folds as issued. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study image carefully. Date: 1699 Overall size: 41 x 27.3 cm. Image size: 35.3 x 22.8 cm. We sell original antique maps to collectors, historians, educators and interior decorators all over the world.
