Article description

Copper engraving, hand colored in wash and outline when published. Decorative and large map of the duchy and principality of Tirol. The map is equipped with many place names, imperial cities, monastries, lakes, rivers, mountains, etc. In the lower right corner we find a large figurative title cartouche with an allegory to the the alps and the fortress Kofel in the background. In the lower left corner is a small mileage scale with the imperial eagle. Overall with good wide margins. A relative weak impression, printed on good paper, however due to an old water damage (in the lower left part above the mileage scale) with loss of some of the printing next to the words ,Valli(s) Tellina'. Also some surface abrahsions in the title cartouche above the words ,Comitatus Tirolis'. On the reverse side of the map in capital letters in ink written ,TIROL'.
