Es finden sich jedoch auch einige Karten, die sonst nirgendwo erschienen sind, darunter die schönen Faltkarten von der Wesermündung und Baden. - Eine Karte mit Einriss, im Bug teils etwas knickfaltig, wenige Karten etwas angerändert, die Weserkarte leicht beschnitten, Ex-Libris auf Innendeckel. - Insgesamt innen sehr gutes, breitrandiges, nur minimal fleckiges Exemplar mit kolorierten Kartuschen. // Engraved coloured portrait, engraved coloured title, 2 unn. ll., 151 pp., 40 unn. ll.; engraved coloured portrait, 2 unn. ll., p. 157-312, 37 unn. ll., with 90 (4 folded and 85 double-page) border coloured engraved maps.

But there are some more maps, which were not published elsewhere, amongst them the beautiful folding maps of the Weser river mouth and Baden. Catouches with nice colouring. One map with tearing, in the inner margins slightly creased, few maps slightly margin-spotted, map of Weser slightly trimmed. Bookplate on inside cover. Altogether a very fine copy with large margins and only a little minor foxing. …
