Johannes and Cornelius Blaeu

Novam Hanc TERRITORII FRANCOFURTENSIS Tabulam

Amsterdam, c. 1640s

20" x 23"

This stunning map of Frankfurt, Germany is produced by the formeost cartographer of the 17th century, Johannes Blaeu. Surrounded by the intricate coat of arms of several dignitaries of the Frankfurt area and surmounted by the four allegorical figures representing Iustitia (Justice), Consilium (Counsel), Concordia (Concord) and Pax (Peace), this very detailed map extends as far west as Hoechst, Hanau in the east, Imhaim in the south and Nidern Esbach in the north. This is unquestionably the most decorative of Blaeu's many regional maps.
